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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the crumbled feta cheese and breadcrumbs to the quinoa mixture, and stir until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 4

With damp hands, shape the quinoa mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
