How to Make Nutritious Quinoa Patties

🍽️ Ingredients

  • 150 g white quinoa

  • 4 dl water

  • 1 medium-sized onion

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 2 cloves of garlic

  • 2 heaping tablespoons of ground flaxseeds + 5 tablespoons of water OR 1 egg

  • 90-100 g flour

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

  • 2 pinches of salt

  • Pinch of pepper

  • 30 g bread crumbs

  • Vegetable oil

🍽️ Directions

  1. Rinse quinoa, cook with water (1:2 ratio) covered over medium heat until absorbed. Transfer to a bowl, let cool before mixing patties.

  2. If you're using flax 'egg,' mix ground flaxseeds with water and let it sit for about 10 minutes to get a gel-like mixture, similar to an egg. If you're using an egg, skip the step with flax and water.

  3. Finely chop the onion and sauté it in 2 tablespoons of oil until it becomes nicely golden brown.

  4. Chop the garlic as finely as possible.

  5. To the cooled quinoa, add the sautéed onion, chopped garlic, flax 'egg,' flour, dried basil, salt, and pepper.

  6. Mix everything well and try to shape a ball. If the mixture is too soft, add some more flour.

  7. On a large shallow plate, spread the bread crumbs.

  8. Take a handful of the mixture and shape it into a ball. Roll the ball in the bread crumbs and then flatten it to form a patty.

  9. Repeat the process until you've used up all the mixture. Heat enough oil in a pan to cover the bottom. Cook the patties in well-heated oil, first on one side, then flip and cook on the other side.

  10. Cook the quinoa patties until they are nicely golden brown. About 2 minutes on each side.

Enjoy the flavors!
