Number of Servings: 12

Ingredients

    2 1/2 cups cooked quinoa
    4 large eggs, beaten
    1/2 tsp sea salt
    2/3 cup fresh chives, chopped
    1 yellow onion, chopped fine
    1/3 cup fresh Parmesan, grated
    6 cloves garlic, minced
    1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
    1 cup whole grain breadcrumbs
    1 T extra virgin olive oil

Directions

In a medium bowl combine quinoa, eggs, and salt. Stir in garlic, chives, onion, cheese and cayenne pepper.
Add breadcrumbs and allow to sit for a couple of minutes.
Form into 1/2-inch patties. The mixture should be very moist.
You may need to add water or extra breadcrumbs to moisten or make the mixture dryer.
Place a large skillet over medium low heat. Heat olive oil. Add as many patties as your skillet can handle, being careful not to overload it so that you have trouble flipping the quinoa patties.
Cover and cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
If after 10 minutes your patties aren’t brown turn the heat up and cook (carefully to avoid burning) until they brown. Flip and cook for 7 more minutes on the other side.
Allow to cool on a wire rack.

*If your patties fall apart while cooking, try adding more breadcrumbs to the mixture but don't forget to account for those extra calories!*

Serving Size: Makes six 1-inch patties

    Incredible!
    I use the same recipe that i got from a health food shop although i add 1/3 cup fresh dill, a white onion and also add some grated cheddar along with the parmesan. These taste amazing and are a great substitute for meat! Great as leftovers as well!! - 6/23/12
