Ingredients

2 1/2 cups cooked

4 beaten

1/2 teaspoon

1/4 cup chopped

1 finely chopped

1/3 cup freshly grated

3 cloves finely chopped

1 cup

2 tablespoons


Directions

Stir the quinoa, eggs, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add the basil, cheese, garlic, and onion. Stir in the bread crumbs and let stand so the crumbs can absorb some moisture. The mixture should be easily formed into balls without falling apart. If needed, add a couple tablespoons of breadcrumbs and let stand a few minutes more. Heat the olive oil (enough to coat the bottom of the pan – the exact amount will depend on the size of the pan you use) in a skillet or wide frying pan over medium. Pat the mixture into patties and cook in batches, about 10 minutes on each side, flattening so they’re about 1/2? thick. Flip carefully! They should be browned on one side after 10 minutes – if not, adjust the heat. Repeat with remaining quinoa mixture.
