Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Quinoa
- 1 cup Water
- 1 medium Carrot, grated
- 1 medium Zucchini, grated
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 4 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 0.5 cup Chickpea flour
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Egg, beaten
Instructions
Rinse the quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear, then combine it with 1 cup of water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrot, grated zucchini, chopped red bell pepper, sliced green onions, and chopped parsley. Squeeze excess moisture from the grated carrot and zucchini using a clean kitchen towel.
Add the cooked quinoa, chickpea flour, minced garlic, salt, ground black pepper, and cumin powder to the vegetable mixture. Stir until well combined.
Add the beaten egg to the mixture, stirring until the ingredients are just combined and form a cohesive mixture.
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture into your hands and shape into a patty. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Place the patties in the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the patties from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Serve warm as a part of a meal, in a gluten-free bun, or on a salad.
