Step 1

I made these the very first time I made quinoa. They reminded us of potato pancakes.

Step 2

1. Cook the quinoa according to package instructions.

Step 3

2. Mix the cooked quinoa with the eggs, Parmesan cheese, herbs, spices, salt, and pepper. Form patties.

Step 4

3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet until hot.

Step 5

4. Carefully place the patties in the hot oil. Do not attempt to flip them until they seem pretty browned on the bottom or they might fall apart.

Step 6

5. Cook until both sides are nicely browned.

Step 7

6. Serve with tomato sauce, fresh herbs, or whatever you like. This recipe serves 2 as a main dish or about 4 as a side dish (make the patties a bit smaller so you get 8 instead of 6).
