Quinoa Patties

This is one of my favorite vegetarian recipes from. Quinoa is a great source of protein and fiber which provides you with a lot of energy. Another great thing about this recipe is that it goes great with any dressing, I highly recommend a greek tzatziki sauce!

Ingredients: 
   
 
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- 2 1/2 cups cooked quinoa, at room temperature
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
- 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh chives
- 1 yellow or white onion, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 cup bread crumbs, plus more if needed
- Water, if needed
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Materials:
 
 - Big mixing bowl
- Wooden spoon
- Cookie tray
- Frying pan
Instructions:
 
 Cook quinoa (check packaging for specific instructions)
 
 Let the quinoa cool, I tend to put it on a cookie sheet and place it in the freezer or fridge for 15-20 minutes.
 
 Mix quinoa with eggs and salt until completely combined.
 
 Add cheese, garlic, chives and onions and bread crumbs, at this point the mixture should start being clumpy.
 
 Let sit for a few minutes so everything sticks together..
 
 Take a spoon and form 1 inch patties with your hands.
 
 Once you have created all of your patties add oil to the frying pan and cook until both sides are a golden brown or until as crispy as you desire!
 
 I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
