Quinoa Patties

Original Recipe

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups cooked quinoa, at room temperature (Eric made 2.5 cups uncooked... hehehe)

4 large eggs, beaten

1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt

1/3 cup finely chopped fresh chives (we didn't have any)

1 yellow or white onion, finely chopped (yellow)

1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan or Gruyère cheese (no fresh or Gruyere... would have been better with it)

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 cup whole grain bread crumbs, plus more if needed

Water, if needed (didn't use)

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or clarified butter (only used in pan)

Quinoa Directions:  1 part quinoa to 1.75 parts liquid.  We only had water but I would use Veggie Broth (or chicken) if in house.  Mix and bring to a rapid boil on stove top.  Reduce heat to Medium-Low and cover with a vented lid.  Stir occasionally (maybe every 3 to 5 minutes the whole time).  When water is absorbed and quinoa texture is to your desire you are done.  You can always add more liquid and/or butter.  About 20 minutes for 1 cup quinoa. 

Patties:  Mix all ingredients in a large bowl.  Wash hands and make into patties.  We cooked 6 at a time for about 10 minutes on each side.  Lid on.  I read the reviews and it said to be patient and allow patties to brown...

Salad: Perfect mixing side dish.  Spinach, tomato, red onion, cucumber, goat cheese

Cooked Quinoa (2.5 cups uncooked!)

Cute!



We think adding a sauce would be good too :)

Enjoy!
