Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water
  • 3 spring onions (, chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (, minced)
  • 1 broccoli head
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/3 cup cheese (, grated)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves (, chopped)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Fresh parsley (, chopped)

Instruction

  • Place quinoa in a mesh strainer and rinse well under cold water. Cook the quinoa in 2 cups of boiling water for about 15 minutes, until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • Steam the broccoli until tender, then chop finely.
  • In a large bowl combine quinoa with the rest of ingredients, broccoli, spring onions, garlic, cheese, eggs, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and herbs. 
  • Form the quinoa mixture into patties, and place on a plate. 
  • Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Line a plate with paper towel. Add the patties onto the frying pan and cook until well browned, about 6-8 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared paper towel plate to remove any excess grease.
