Spring Herb Quinoa Patties

By katielgarcia

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked quinoa (about 3/4 c. dry)
• 2 eggs
• 2 Tbsp chopped green onion
• 2 Tbsp chopped mint
• 2 Tbsp chopped parsley
• 1/2 c. grated strong cheese – we used an aged sheep’s milk cheese
• 1/2 c. bread crumbs
• 1/4 tsp salt

Preparation

Step 1

Combine everything but the quinoa in a large bowl and mix well. Fold in the cooked quinoa until it’s fully incorporated and the mixture is even.

Heat a large frying pan, with a drizzle of oil to coat, to medium high.

Using a spoon & your hands, form appox 2” patties with the quinoa mix and plop them into the hot frying pan.

Cook each side for approx 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Don’t disturb them for the first minute or two to prevent them from falling apart! Flip, and cook the other side for an additional 3-ish minutes, or until both sides are golden brown.

Serve with more freshly grated cheese on top.
