For the Patties
- 6 oz uncooked quinoa * See the notes
- 2 medium zucchini peeled and shredded
- 1 c feta cheese crumbled
- 2 tablespoon sun-dried tomatoes finely chopped
- 3 tablespoon regular breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoon Dill finely chopped
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 4 tablespoon olive or grapeseed oil
For Greek Yogurt Sauce
- 4 tablespoon Greek yogurt plain
- 1 baby dill pickle finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dill minced
- 1 clove garlic finely minced
- salt, pepper to a taste
Instructions
For the Patties
- In a medium saucepan combine quinoa with 1.5 cups water. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes. Let it cool.
- Place shredded zucchini in a large piece of paper towel and squeeze it to drain liquid out of zucchini.* (See the notes)
- In a big bowl, combine cooked quinoa, zucchini, Feta cheese, garlic, dill, sun-dried tomatoes, eggs, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Form the mixture into small patties. If they start to fall apart, add more breadcrumbs, one tablespoon at a time.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Working in batches, cook the patties for 5 minutes. Slowly and carefully flip the patties and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a plate and let them cool while you prepare the sauce.
To make Greek Yogurt Sauce
- In a small bowl stir together Greek Yogurt, baby dill pickle, dill and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to your taste and give everything another stir.
Notes
- Quinoa
- In my recipe I used Rainbow Quinoa, but you can use any type of Quinoa you have.
- Cooked Quinoa will keep for 1 week in a fridge and up to 8-12 months in the freezer.
- Zucchini
- You should try to drain as much liquid as possible out of zucchini. Several changes of paper towels might be needed.
