Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 2 cups Water
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Crumbled feta cheese
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine mesh strainer. In a medium saucepan, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the water has been absorbed. Let it cool slightly.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the cooked quinoa, chopped parsley, onion, and garlic until well combined.
Add the crumbled feta cheese and breadcrumbs to the quinoa mixture, and stir until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
With damp hands, shape the quinoa mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the patties to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
