Cheesy Quinoa Patties With Kale And Spinach Recipes

KALE AND QUINOA PATTIES

Steps:

• FOR BEST RESULTS, MAKE QUINOA SEVERAL HOURS AHEAD
• In a medium saucepan, toast quinoa over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, tossing occasionally
• Carefully add 1 cup of vegetable broth. The quinoa will bubble vigorously, so turn the saucepan away from you. Reduce to a very low simmer, and cook for approximately 18 minutes
• In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 teaspoons avocado oil
• Add onion and cook for 2 minutes, until translucent. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Add kale and remaining broth, and cook until kale is softened, 5-10 minutes.
• Transfer kale to a large bowl and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Wipe the skillet clean
• Add cooked quinoa to the bowl, along with onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, Panko bread crumbs, and Parmesan
• Add the egg to the bowl, combine the mixture well, and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
• Using a 1/4 cup measure, form the patties. Spray a little cooking spray into the cup so the patties release easily.
• Scoop the mixture generously into the cup, press against the side of the bowl to help it stick together, and carefully tap the mixture out onto a plate.
• Add the oil to the skillet, turn the heat to medium-high, and heat until the oil immediately bubbles when you add a small piece of onion
• Carefully add patties to oil. Press down lightly with the back of the cup or a spatula, to flatten them slightly.
• Cook for about 5 minutes, or until you see the golden crust begin to form. Carefully turn the patties using a spatula, and cook the other side until golden brown.
• When patties are done, remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
• Top with additional grated parmesan and a little more red pepper flakes, if desired.

QUINOA AND SPINACH PATTIES

Steps:

• Rinse the quinoa thoroughly and place the grains in a medium sauce pan with 2 cups of water. Bring the water to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
• Cook until quinoa is tender and has absorbed the liquid, about 20 minutes. Let it cool.
• In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, eggs, Parmesan, scallions, garlic, salt, steamed spinach, and breadcrumbs. Let everything sit for a few minutes to absorb the liquid. The batter should be moist, but not runny. Form patties 1/4 cup each.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. In 2 or 3 batches, cook the patties covered for 8-10 minutes on each side, or until browned and golden.
