Ingredients

Servings

Quinoa Patties

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole grain bread crumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup grated veg friendly Parmesan
  • ½ cup finely shredded spinach
  • 3 tablespoons minced parsley
  • 3 tablespoons minced chives
  • oil for frying

Yogurt Sauce

  • ½ cup plain whole milk yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • Splash of lemon juice
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Let rest for 20 minutes.
  2. While waiting, make the yogurt sauce. Combine the ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine. Let sit while frying the fritters.
  3. When ready to fry, heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Form the quinoa mixture into small, 2” patties that are about ½” thick. Place in the pan and fry on each side for about 3 to 4 minutes. The fritters should be golden and crisp. Serve with the yogurt and more herbs as desired.

Notes

  • Tips + Tricks: If the mixture has trouble holding together, let it rest for about 20 minutes. Also, don't be in a hurry to flip these. Let crisp and brown before attempting the flip.
  • Use up leftover ingredients: quinoa, spinach, herbs
