Instructions

  1. Prepare quinoa according to package instructions using chicken broth instaed of water if you wish. Fluff with a fork when it's done cooking then remove quinoa from pot and place in a medium bowl. Let quinoa cool slightly.
  2. To the bowl with the cooked quinoa, add all remaining ingredients. If the mixture seems dry, add another egg. If it seems wet, add more almond flour.
  3. Form mixture into patties – any size you wish. If you're serving as a main course, make them slightly larger. If you want them to be bite-sized for an appetizer, make them about the size of two tablespoons.
  4. Pre-heat griddle or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray or use a little oil. Cook patties for 5-6 minutes per side. Serve warm, room temparture or chilled.
