Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 2 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Chickpea flour
- 1 medium Carrot, grated
- 1 medium Zucchini, grated
- 0.5 cup Green onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and drain well.
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed. Let it cool slightly.
While the quinoa is cooking, grate the carrot and zucchini. Using a clean kitchen towel, squeeze out excess moisture from the grated zucchini.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chickpea flour, grated carrot, grated zucchini, chopped green onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and paprika. Mix well.
Add the beaten eggs to the mixture and stir until well combined.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture and shape it into a patty. Carefully place it into the skillet. Repeat with additional patties, cooking them in batches if necessary.
Cook each patty for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Add more oil to the skillet as needed for additional batches.
Remove the patties from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
Serve warm with your choice of sauce or a side salad.
