These quinoa patties are delicious, vegetarian and packed with protein and nutrients!
INGREDIENTS
1 cup uncooked quinoa
2 cups water
4 eggs, whisked
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese*
3 large scallions, sliced thin
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup steamed spinach, chopped (frozen is fine)
1 cup plain breadcrumbs, for GF, be sure to use GF breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly and place the grains in a medium sauce pan with 2 cups of water. Bring the water to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
Cook until quinoa is tender and has absorbed the liquid, about 20 minutes. Let it cool.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, eggs, Parmesan, scallions, garlic, salt, steamed spinach, and breadcrumbs. Let everything sit for a few minutes to absorb the liquid. The batter should be moist, but not runny. Form patties 1/4 cup each.
Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. In 2 or 3 batches, cook the patties covered for 8-10 minutes on each side, or until browned and golden.
