The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic clove (crushed)
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • Water as needed add moisture
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
  • ½ cup yogurt
  • ½ avocado (extra ripe)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instruction

  • Combine quinoa, eggs, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in onions, cheese and garlic. Add the bread crumbs, stir, and let sit for a few minutes so the crumbs can absorb some of the moisture. Feel free to add water if the mixture feels too dry. Form the mixture into 6-8 patties.
  • Frying Instructions: Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Place add quinoa on the heated pan, making sure not to overcrowd the pan and cook until the patties are golden color, about 7 - 10 per side minutes.
  • Baking Instructions: Place the quinoa patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the oil on top of the patties. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15 minutes, until golden.
  • To make the avocado yogurt sauce, whisk together the cilantro, avocado and yogurt. Season with salt and pepper and serve with the cooked quinoa patties.
