View the previous recipe for this meal.

Egg. Quinoa. Almonds. That’s pretty much it for these happy little patties that make a perfect vegetarian main dish. Use any leftover quinoa recipe. Mince up cooked veggies or herbs to doll these up a bit. If you can’t do nuts, substitute breadcrumbs for the almond meal*.

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup quinoa, cooked
  • ½ cup almond flour, or breadcrumbs*
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Serving Size: 2 People

Preparation Instructions

Whisk the egg in a medium bowl. Fold in the cooked quinoa, almond meal* and salt.

Shape into balls. A one to two ounce ice cream scooper works well for this.

Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place in the pan. Sear for a few minutes and then flatten gently with the back of a smooth spatula.

When the bottom is golden, flip over. Sear on the other side for 4-6 minutes until it is also golden.

Serve with veggies or a flavor packed sauce.
