Dinner - Quinoa Patties

These are quinoa patties.  I made them before on April 5th, but this time the zucchini I used was from my own garden!!  My first zucchini!  So exciting!!


2 rounded cp cooked quinoa  - cooled down from cooking (see the box/bag of your quinoa for instructions how to make it)
3/4 cp shredded cheddar cheese (or any other cheese you prefer)
1/2 cp fat free cottage cheese
1/2 cp shredded carrot (I got it from the salad bar)
1/2 cp shredded zucchini - squeeze out the water once you have grated it
3 eggs
3 T flour
1/4 cp grated onion
1/2 t sugar (I used agave)
1/4 t black pepper
1/4 t ground cumin
1/8 t salt
1/4 t garlic powder


Combine all the ingredients into a large bowl


In a non-stick pan with a thin layer of olive oil - medium heat.  To keep it into a patty, cooking it on medium is better than hotter.  This allows for the patty to set up before flipping it.  When I put the thicker patty into the pan - I flattened it out with my hand - to about 1/2-1/4" thick.


This makes about 10 patties.


I served it with greek plain, nonfat yogurt and I always double the recipe to have extra to put in the fridge for snacking.  They are just as good cold as warm.
