Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 large onion (chopped)
  • ¼ cup cheddar cheese or Daiya (optional)
  • ¼ cup chopped chives
  • ¾ cup quinoa flour (I prefer toasted – or flour of choice)
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 eggs or flax eggs (2 tablespoons ground flax seeds + 6 tablespoons warm water)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Coconut or organic canola oil (for cooking)

Instruction

  • If using flax eggs, combine ground flax seeds with warm water and mix well. Set aside to thicken. (Skip this step if you are using eggs.)
  • In a medium bowl combine quinoa, cheese, onion and chives. Add flour, cayenne pepper and sea salt. Toss until coated.
  • Beat eggs and lemon juice together. Combine with quinoa mixture and mix well.
  • Form into small balls and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet to medium heat and coat well with oil. (Make sure you allow your skillet to get warm before adding quinoa) Cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side or until brown.
