On Tap Oil & Vinegar Recipe Detail

Quinoa Patties

with Extra Virgin or Garlic Olive Oil

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups quinoa, cooked & cooled to room temp
• 4 large eggs, beaten
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup fresh chives, chopped
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
• 1 Tbsp Garlic Olive Oil (or Extra Virgin Olive Oil)

Directions:

Mix all ingredients up to olive oil in a large bowl. Allow to sit 3-5 minutes. If necessary, add a little water or more bread crumbs to adjust consistency. Form mixture into small patties about 3" in diameter and 1/2 - 3/4" thick. They will hold together, but may crumble a little - cooking will firm up patties.

Heat oil in large skillet over medium to low heat. Place 5-6 patties into skillet, leaving room in between. Cook 5-10 minutes until deep golden brown in colour. Flip and cook additional 5-7 minutes until second side is done and patties are cooked through. Remove to wire rack and cook second batch, if necessary. Makes a great BBQ side served hot with grilled veggies.
