Directions Nothing I'd Rather Eat Quinoa Patties
Directions
-
Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is soft, 15 to 20 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and salt, cook and stir until tender, 5 to 8 minutes.
Place sweet potatoes on a microwave-safe plate, prick all over with a fork. Cook on high, turning once, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool until easily handled, about 5 minutes.
Peel sweet potatoes and place flesh in a bowl. Add eggs, tahini, kefir, flax seeds, Parmesan cheese, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, soy sauce, vegetable seasoning, vinegar, salt, and pepper, beat with an electric mixer until well blended. Stir in quinoa, onions, and corn.
Stir enough spelt flour into the sweet potato mixture until it barely holds together.
Melt 1/4 teaspoon butter on a griddle over medium heat. Spoon a burger-sized patty onto the hot griddle and cook until browned, about 4 minutes. Flip, add 1 slice Cheddar cheese. Cover patty with a frying pan and cook until cheese is melted, about 4 minutes more. Repeat with remaining butter, sweet potato mixture, and Cheddar cheese.
