Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Choose Serving Size 20 quinoa patties

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup quinoa boiled
  • 50 g feta cheese mashed with a fork
  • 1 onion diced
  • ½ cup black olives sliced
  • 1 bunch parsley or dill, chopped (choose whichever you like)
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 Tbsp breadcrumbs
  • ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients except the breadcrumbs to a large bowl and mix well.
  • The mixture may be a little watery, so add the breadcrumbs. Start with 3 tablespoons and wait a few minutes so they absorb the excess water.
  • There are 2 ways to cook the quinoa patties: 1. frying or 2. baking.
  • To fry: grease a non-stick pan with a little oil and add the quinoa patties, about 1 tablespoon of mixture per patty. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side.
  • To bake: grease an oven tray with a little oil, add the quinoa patties and bake for 25-30 minutes at 200C.

Notes

Add the breadcrumbs gradually and wait a few minutes between additions so they absorb the excess moisture before you fry or bake the patties. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
