CHEESY QUINOA AND BROCCOLI PATTIES*** by MELISSA RODRIGUEZ serves: 6	No ratings Rating Details Rate this recipe Printable View Print Index Cards

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup

Quinoa

1 Cup

Water

Broccoli Florets

Onion, Diced

1/4 Cup

Bread Crumbs

1/4 Cup

Cheddar Cheese, Shredded

Egg

Salt & Pepper

Olive Oil

Directions:

1. First, cook your quinoa according to the directions on the packaging. I cooked mine by combining 1/2 cup of quinoa with 1 cup of boiling water, then letting it come to a boil, and simmering, covered for about 15 minutes. Once the quinoa has absorbed all the water (this shouldn't take longer than 15 minutes), put it on a plate and let it cool completely.

2. Next, saute your diced onion until it's soft and translucent. Set aside and let cool completely. Cook your broccoli until it has softened a little bit, then let it cool as well. Once the broccoli has cooled completely, dice it into small pieces.

3. Now that you have everything ready, in a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together, leaving the egg until the end. Mix well so you have a smooth, wet mixture that will allow you to make patties that will stick together.

4. Heat some olive oil in a pan, and make your patties. I made each using 1/4 cup of the mixture. Just make a ball out of the mixture, and squash it down a little bit. Cook each patty for about 7 - 8 minutes on each side on medium heat. You want the patty to develop a crust, but not to burn, so watch them carefully. Let cool for a couple of minutes before eating.
