Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups quinoa at room temperature, cooked, white
- 4 egg beaten, large
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup basil finely chopped, fresh
- ½ cup red onion finely minced
- ⅓ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 ½ cup bread crumbs since I cook gluten-free, I made my bread crumbs by pulsing an Udi's bagel in the food processor
- olive oil or clarified butter, for coating pan
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the quinoa, eggs, and salt; stir to mix well. Add the basil, red onion, cheese, garlic, and breadcrumbs to the bowl; stir, then let the mixture sit for a few minutes so that the bread crumbs can absorb some of the moisture. If your mixture is too wet you can add a little more breadcrumbs at this point and if it is too dry add a small amount of water.
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil or clarified butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Form the mixture into 12 small patties; when the oil is hot place enough patties in the skillet so that it is full, but the patties still have room in between them. Cover, and cook for 7-10 minutes, until the bottoms are crisp and deeply browned. Carefully flip the patties with a spatula and cook the second side for about 7 minutes more. Remove from the skillet and cool on a wire rack while you cook the remaining patties.
Notes
- Make about 1 cup of dried quinoa according to package instructions to get 2 ½ cups cooked.
- I cook my patties in a cast iron skillet on medium-low. If you see that your patties are not browning after the first side has cooked for 10 minutes crank up the heat on your stove a bit and continue to cook the patties until they are browned.
