Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 2 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 bunch Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Rinse the quinoa under running water for 2 minutes to remove its natural bitterness.
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the quinoa, then reduce the heat to low.
Cover the saucepan and let the quinoa simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.
Remove from heat, fluff the quinoa with a fork, and let it cool for a few minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, almond flour, eggs, Parmesan cheese, green onions, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until a cohesive mixture forms.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Take approximately 1/4 cup of the mixture and shape it into a patty.
Carefully place the patty into the skillet. Repeat the process with the remaining mixture.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked patties onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve warm and enjoy these tasty keto-friendly quinoa patties!
