Quinoa patties

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 200g quinoa
• 400 ml vegetable stock
• 2 tbsp oil
• 2 m.-large carrot(s)
• 1 onion(s)
• 2 tbsp herbs, chopped
• 100 g almonds, ground
• salt and pepper
• nutmeg
• 3 tbsp soy flour
• 6 tbsp water

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 10 minutes

with carrots

Rinse the quinoa with hot water in a fine sieve, drain well, and add to the boiling vegetable broth. Simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, until completely dry. Meanwhile, dice the onion, trim the carrots, and finely grate them. Heat the oil in a saucepan and sauté the onion and carrots for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the herbs, almonds, and quinoa, and mix well. Then combine the soy flour with the water and mix well. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg and mix well again. Now form the mixture into 12 to 15 patties and either fry them in a pan in hot oil or bake them in the oven on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (at 200°C top/bottom heat for about 40 minutes). I like to use “mixed” quinoa, meaning white, red, and/or black quinoa mixed together.
