Kale & Quinoa Patties

I’ve made these Kale & Quinoa Patties at least a few dozen times over the past few years so it’s safe to say that it’s a household favorite. Over the years, I’ve eaten these patties in pretty much every way possible. I’ve put them on buns and eaten them as a burger, I’ve topped them with avocados and goat cheese and cottage cheese and all kinds of other yummy toppings. I’ve eaten them with a fork and knife and I’ve also eaten then straight out of the skillet with my fingers. I’ve eaten them for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and definitely as the occasional snack. Needless to say, I’m a pretty big fan and make these on a very regular basis. (psst, you should too!)

Ingredients

1 cup - quinoa
2 cups - broth
4 stem - kale
1 cup - panko breadcrumbs
4 - eggs
4 - spring onions
⅓ cup - Parmesan cheese
4 cloves - garlic
1 tsp - salt
pepper
oil
1 - medium avocado

Instructions

Cook the quinoa in the broth as directed on the packaging. Once done, take off of the heat, top with the kale (don't stir) and cover for 8-10 minutes. Stir and then set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the quinoa/ kale mixture, breadcrumbs, eggs, onions, cheese, garlic, and S&P.
Take about 1/4 cup at a time, form the quinoa mixture into patties in preparation for cooking.
Over medium heat, heat about 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet and add in the patties making sure not to overcrowd them (I cook mine in 2 batches). Cook for 5 minutes on one side, flip, and then cook for an additional 7-8 minutes on the other side. You want a nice golden brown on each side.
Once done, top with your choice of toppings and ENJOY!!
