Instructions

Mix the quinoa with 1 1/3 c water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer, covered over low heat for 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Uncover, and let the quinoa cool slightly.
Press the grated zucchini between two paper towels to remove some of the extra moisture.
In a large bowl, mix the quinoa, grated zucchini, breadcrumbs, garlic, cheese, basil, chives, salt and pepper. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings if desired.
Add the egg and mix until the mixture is moist.
Heat 1 Tbsp of butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Shape the quinoa mixture into ¼ c patties. Place the patties on the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, flip, and continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the patties are golden.
Repeat with any additional mixture, adding butter if the skillet seems dry. Keep the finished patties warm in a low oven until everything has been cooked.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and a salad.
