The Best Quinoa Patties

The Best Quinoa Patties

Adapted from Super Natural Every Day

Ingredients

Makes 28 bize size patties (or 14 larger ones)

2 ½ cups / 12 oz / 340 gr cooked quinoa (you’ll need to cook a little over 1 cup of quinoa)

8 egg whites (or 4 large eggs beaten)

⅓ cup / 0.5 oz / 15 gr parsley chopped

1 onion finely chopped

1 clove garlic finely chopped

⅓ cup / 0.5 oz / 15 gr grated Parmesan cheese or Romano cheese

1 cup / 3.5 oz / 100 gr whole wheat breadcrumbs

½ tsp salt

Water (if needed)

Olive oil

Directions

Combine quinoa, eggs, and salt into a bowl.

Stir in the cheese, onion, garlic, and parsley. Whisk well until fully incorporated. Add breadcrumbs and stir in well. Let mixture sit for a couple of minutes so that the breadcrumbs can absorb the moisture.

Scoop two tablespoons of mixture and form 1 ½ inch size patties (or use ¼ cup of mixture to shape larger ones).

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet with a thick bottom. Add patties leaving some room between each. Cover and cook on medium to low heat for around 7 minutes or until the patties are browned.

With the help of a spatula, flip the patties and cook on the other side for 7 minutes. If there’s no browning, turn the heat up and cook until golden.

Remove from the skillet, cool on a wire while you cook the other patties.
