Cheesy Quinoa Patties With Kale And Spinach Recipes

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.

• 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.

• Put the quinoa in a saucepan and pour over the hot stock. Simmer for 18-20 mins over a gentle heat until the grains have fluffed up and the liquid has disappeared. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add the kale and simmer for 6-8 mins until cooked through. Drain, squeeze out any excess water and set aside.
• Put 1 tbsp olive oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2-3 mins until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min more. Tip the cooked quinoa into a bowl and add the kale, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg and sundried tomatoes. Season well and mix to combine. Set aside.

• Gently heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a shallow frying pan. Using your hands, form the quinoa mixture into 8 round patties. Add to the frying pan and fry for 4-5 mins each side until crisp and golden.
