Viewed: 78 - Published at: 7 years agoIngredients
- 2 1/2 cups cooked quinoa
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1 white onion, finely chopped (yellow would be fine too)
- 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 cup bread crumbs (plus a few extra tablespoons if needed)
- 1-3 tbsp olive oil
Method
- Stir the quinoa, eggs, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add the basil, cheese, garlic, and onion.
- Stir in the bread crumbs and let stand so the crumbs can absorb some moisture. The mixture should be easily formed into balls without falling apart. If needed, add a couple tablespoons of breadcrumbs and let stand a few minutes more.
- Heat the olive oil (enough to coat the bottom of the pan - the exact amount will depend on the size of the pan you use) in a skillet or wide frying pan over medium. Pat the mixture into patties and cook in batches, about 10 minutes on each side, flattening so they're about 1/2" thick. Flip carefully! They should be browned on one side after 10 minutes - if not, adjust the heat.
- Repeat with remaining quinoa mixture.
