Ingredients
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 2 cups Water
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 cup Chopped spinach
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa with water and bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 2
Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and has absorbed all the water.
Step 3
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 4
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and then add the slightly cooled quinoa, grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, minced garlic, chopped spinach, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 5
Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 2-inches in diameter.
Step 6
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
Add the quinoa patties to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to do this in batches.
Step 8
Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the quinoa patties warm on their own, or with a side salad or dipping sauce of your choice.
