Quinoa and broccoli patties are a nutritious and delicious option for a meal or snack. Packed with the protein from quinoa and the vitamins from broccoli, these patties are perfect for a healthy diet. Follow this easy recipe to whip up a batch in no time.
Instructions:
- Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the rinsed quinoa.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let it cool.
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the finely chopped broccoli florets and cook for about 2-3 minutes until tender but still bright green.
- Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, sautéed onion, chopped broccoli, bread crumbs, black pepper, and salt.
- Stir in the beaten egg and grated Parmesan cheese until the mixture is well combined.
- Using your hands, shape the quinoa mixture into small patties. You should be able to get about 8-10 patties, depending on the size.
- In a large skillet, heat a thin layer of olive oil over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- You may need to cook the patties in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve warm, with a side of your choice, such as a salad or a dipping sauce.
Tips:
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water before cooking to remove any bitterness.
- You can steam the broccoli to retain more nutrients.
- Customize the flavor by adding herbs or spices such as cumin or paprika.
- Use a non-stick pan to reduce the need for additional oil.
- Serve the patties with a dip like tzatziki or hummus for an extra burst of flavor.
Quinoa and broccoli patties are an excellent way to enjoy a nutritious and tasty meal. With simple ingredients and straightforward preparation, these patties can quickly become a favorite in your household. Enjoy them hot and fresh, accompanied by your favorite sauce or salad.
