Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 and 2/3 cups cooked quinoa
4 large eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
2 Tablespoons chopped parsley
1/2 small onion, finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
1/3 cup fresh parmesan cheese, grated
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3/4 cup gluten free whole grain breadcrumbs (or regular)*
1/2 cup finely chopped carrot and zucchini (1/4 cup each veggie)
1 Tablespoon oil, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • Combine the quinoa, eggs, salt, and lemon pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the parsley, onion, cheese, and garlic. Stir in the bread crumbs and chopped carrot/zucchini. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes so the crumbs absorb some of the moisture.
  • At this point, you should have a mixture you can easily form into 20 thick patties. You want the mixture moist, so the patties aren't dry tasting. However, you want the mixture to hold together when cooking. You can add more bread crumbs to firm up the mixture, if needed. Alternatively, you can add a couple drops of water to moisten the mixture. *The uncooked quinoa mixture keeps nicely in the refrigerator for a few days. Cover tightly and cook the patties when you have time.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat, add 5-6 patties, cover, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes until the bottoms are deeply browned. Carefully flip the patties with a spatula and cook the second sides for 5 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the skillet and cool on a large plate while you cook the remaining patties. Add more oil to the skillet if needed between each batch.
  • Serve plain or in a pita, on a salad, on a sandwich, with sliced avocado, with hot sauce on top, etc etc. There are so many ways to enjoy them!

LITTLE QUINOA PATTIES

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains     Quinoa Recipes

Yield Makes 12 patties

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 cups cooked quinoa, room temperature
4 large eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh chives
1 onion, finely chopped
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan or Gruyere cheese
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cup whole-grain bread crumbs, plus more if needed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine the quinoa, eggs, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in the chives, onion, cheese, and garlic. Add the bread crumbs, stir, and let stand for a few minutes. Form mixture into twelve 1-inch thick patties. (Add more breadcrumbs if the mixture is too wet; add water if too dry.) Mixture can be kept covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Working in batches, add patties, cover, and cook until bottoms are deeply browned, about 7 to 10 minutes. Increase heat to medium if there is no browning after 10 minutes and continue to cook until patties are browned. Flip patties with a spatula and cook the second sides until golden, about 7 minutes. Remove from skillet and cool on a wire rack. Repeat with remaining patties.

Tips:

  • Choose the right quinoa: For the best texture, use white or tri-color quinoa. Red quinoa will also work, but it has a slightly chewier texture.
  • Cook the quinoa properly: Be sure to rinse the quinoa well before cooking. This will remove any bitter saponins that may be present. Cook the quinoa according to the package directions.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your patties the best flavor. If you're using frozen vegetables, be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Add your favorite seasonings: You can customize the flavor of your patties by adding your favorite seasonings. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Don't overmix the patties: Overmixing the patties will make them tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the patties over medium heat: Cooking the patties over medium heat will help them to cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the patties with your favorite dipping sauce: These patties are delicious served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mustard, or barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

These little quinoa patties are a delicious and healthy way to use up leftover quinoa. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Serve them as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They're also great for packing in lunches.
