Tri-Color Quinoa Patties
Ingredients
For the patties:
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa (I used @RiceSelect Tri-Color Quinoa)
- 2 cups water
- 1 small sweet potato, shredded
- 1 small zucchini, shredded and drained
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
- 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper
- Paprika
- Olive oil
For the sauce:
- 1 cup greek yogurt
- Lemon juice
- Salt and pepper
- Fresh herbs, chopped
Instructions
- Bring water to a boil. Add 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp olive oil, if desired. Stir in quinoa. Cover with lid; reduce the heat to low and simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand (covered) for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let it cool.
- Make the yogurt sauce by mixing together all the ingredients.
- In a bowl, mix together the cooked quinoa, sweet potato, zucchini, green onions, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, eggs and the seasoning. Take a handful of the mixture and shape it into a patty.
- In a skillet, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. Carefully place the quinoa patties in the pan and cook them on each side until they are golden brown and crispy. Serve them with a dollop of yogurt sauce.
