Quinoa recipes

BUMP!

Quinoa is Goooooooooood!!!!!

This is very similar to a quinoa burger recipe I just tried!

2 cups cooked quinoa
3 eggs
3 tbsp Flour
1 carrot finely grated (or sub zucchini)
1 small onion finely diced
1 cup grated cheese
1/2 cup cottage cheese or sour cream (I didn't have any of either so I left it out...made no difference)
Seasonings...I used 1 tsp chili powder, dash of curry and a tsp of garlic salt...very versatile for any flavor you're looking for

Mix it all together (after letting quinoa cool a bit)..if it's too wet, add a little more flour. Use a 1/4 cup to drop into a hot oiled pan (i spritzed with olive oil between each batch) and flatten to about half an inch thickness. Fry until golden brown, then flip.

You can serve on a bun like a real burger, or a lettuce bed. I just ate mine on their own. Suggested toppings were mayo/ketchup (fry sauce), tatziki...could be anything depending on your flavorings.

When I made it I ended up with 11 patties at 120 calories each (not including the olive oil for frying). Super yummy!

Do you have to rinse quinoa?
It seems everywhere I looked, you have to rinse it 3 times...
It seems very fiddly.

No clue why you'd need to rinse Quinoa 3 times unless it's your lucky number?

One rinse is plenty but rinse it well and drain it before cooking (unless the recipe calls for uncooked, but you'd still want to rinse it first!)

You have to rinse quinoa before you use it but once should suffice. The most important thing is to make sure it's good and dry before you cook it so it doesn't turn out mushy. Here are a few of my quinoa recipes:
