Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups filtered water
- 4 large pasture-raised eggs (whisked)
- 3 large scallions (sliced thin)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup steamed swiss chard or kale (chopped)
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon ghee or coconut oil
Directions
Rinse 1 cup of quinoa thoroughly and place the grains in a medium sauce pan with 2 cups of water. Allow quinoa to soak for 15 minutes. Then, with the lid on the pan, bring the water to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook until quinoa is tender and has absorbed the liquid – about 15 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl, mix together cooked quinoa, eggs, scallions, garlic, salt, steamed chard or kale, and breadcrumbs. Let everything sit for a few minutes to absorb the liquid. Form patties.
Heat ghee or coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook up to 6 patties at at time (don’t overcrowd the pan). Cover the pan and let the patties cook for 7-10 minutes until they are a deep rich brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 7-10 minutes until both sides are nice and brown. Let patties rest on a cooling rack while you finish the next batch.
