Ingredients:
1½ cups (260g) quinoa
3 cups (720ml) water
1 carrot
1 zucchini
1 onion
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 bunch parsley
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon + 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons + 3 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:
1. Rinse the quinoa under cool water, until the water comes out transparent. Put rinsed quinoa in a medium saucepan. Add water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Let cool. Transfer to a large bowl.
2. Finely chop the onion, grate zucchini and carrot. Chop fresh parsley.
3. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add crushed garlic, grated zucchini and carrot. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally for 7-8 minutes.
4. To the bowl with cooked quinoa and the cooked vegetables, 1/2 tsp salt, black pepper and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.
5. With your hands, shape patties from the mixture.
6. In a large pan with olive oil. Fry the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel.

  1. Adjustments and Notes:
    1. If your using large or extra large eggs use only two eggs.
    2. Squeeze juice from carrots and zucchini before cooking
    3. This recipe is really bland so I use one tablespoon of lemon pepper with a little bit of ground chipotle pepper, plus salt. (I may try it with a little mustard and or dill next batch).
    4. I chose to air fry mine; not as crispy, but it works and is healthier.

    Thanks so much for the lovely recipe!!

  2. I just made them and they were beyond delicious. One tip I have: store them in the fridge for at least 4 hours, otherwise they will break during turning upside down.

  3. Made one change: I despise zucchini so I shredded a potato instead. I also added scallions because I'm just a scallion guy, and it is AWESOME. Definitely being added to my regular recipes.

  4. Quite interesting. But what is the alternative of eggs. I want these fir weight loss, can't put potato, corn flour!

  5. Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you create these delicious pates and I’m going to try to make some too.

  6. Nice! I recently made salmon patties and we made hamburgers with them. Me too, i mixed the mushed salmon with zucchini and carrot. We cooked the salmon with a little bit of water in the pan. I only wanted the salmon to cook and not be fried.
    The hamburgers turned out great!
    Thank you for fantastic inspiration!! ❤❤❤ I love love making patties and burgers. Maybe i should try doing it with quinoa, just like you did. ❤
    Thanks for the recipe!

  7. I followed the same recipe but it turned out so wet that I couldn't shape the tikki. Even though I just added 1 egg.
