Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil divided, plus ¼ cup
- 1 yellow onion diced, medium
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½-1 teaspoon salt see note
- black pepper to taste
- 1 kale finely chopped, large bunch
- 3 cups quinoa from about 1 cup dry, cooked
- 3 egg
- 1 cup breadcrumbs I used panko, but it doesn't matter
- 2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley minced
Notes
- The amount of salt needed will depend on whether or not your quinoa is seasoned already. Taste and adjust as needed.
- To serve as an appetizer, just form into much smaller patties and keep warm in a low oven before serving.
- Other greens or grains may be substituted for the kale and quinoa - try these with rice, millet, barley, farro, buckwheat, swiss chard, spinach, mustard greens, etc.
- If the patties are too soft or wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs to make them firmer
- Let the patties cook undisturbed for a few minutes before flipping them over. This will prevent them from falling apart in the pan.
- Leave enough space in between each patty in the pan so they do not overlap when you press them down. This will also allow them to turn crisp and golden on the bottom and sides.
- These freeze beautifully. Once cool, wrap them up tight and freeze in an airtight container for up to 6 months. The reheat very well in a toaster oven.
