Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked quinoa
• 1 large onion, chopped
• ¼ cup cheddar cheese or Daiya (optional)
• ¼ cup chopped chives
• ¾ cup quinoa flour (I prefer toasted – or flour of choice)
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 eggs or flax eggs (2 tablespoons ground flax seeds + 6 tablespoons warm water)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Coconut or organic canola oil, for cooking

Directions

• If using flax eggs, combine ground flax seeds with warm water and mix well. Set aside to thicken. (Skip this step if you are using eggs.)
• In a medium bowl combine quinoa, cheese, onion and chives. Add flour, cayenne pepper and sea salt. Toss until coated.
• Beat eggs and lemon juice together. Combine with quinoa mixture and mix well.
• Form into small balls and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Heat a large skillet to medium heat and coat well with oil. (Make sure you allow your skillet to get warm before adding quinoa) Cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side or until brown.
