17 ingredients
14 steps

Ingredients

  • Patties
  • 1/2 cup quinoa - uncooked (cook as directed on the box. Usually 1/2 c uncooked quinoa is cooked in 1 c salted water)
  • 3/4 cup Cannellini beans (or chickpeas)- canned
  • 1/2 potato - boiled (instead of using egg)
  • 1/4 small red onion
  • 1/4 cup cilantro
  • 1 Serrano peppers (depending on your spice level tolerance)
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • Salt, to taste
  • Yogurt Sauce
  • 1 cup plain non-far Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon Lime zest (optional)
  • A drizzle of honey if the yogurt is too tart
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. 1
    Pulse onions, garlic, green chillies.
  2. 2
    Add Cannellini beans, cilantro, lemon juice, salt, ground cumin, and pulse for 30-45 seconds (until the beans have just broken down).
  3. 3
    Add boiled potato, cooked quinoa, and pulse until everything is mixed. Don't over-pulse the mixture or it will get too mushy.
  4. 4
    Make 1 inch balls and flatten them.
  5. 5
    Heat a non-stick or a ceramic pan on medium heat.
  6. 6
    Drizzle vegetable or extra virgin olive oil on the pan and carefully place the patties on the pan.
  7. 7
    Cook the patties for ~5 minutes on each side or until they reach a beautiful brown toasted color.
  8. 8
    These patties can be served at room temperature so let the patties cool off on a wire rack while you make the yogurt sauce.
  9. 9
    Mix everything in a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  10. 10
    Slice ~10 cherry tomatoes in halves or thin slices, whatever you prefer.
  11. 11
    Assemble
  12. 12
    Place patties on a serving platter.
  13. 13
    You can either dollop a small amount of yogurt on each patty (this could get messy) or use the sandwich bag technique. Transfer the yogurt mixture in a sandwich bag and cut a small piece at one of the corners and pipe the yogurt onto each patty. This made the dish mess-free and pretty at the same time.
  14. 14
    Place sliced cherry tomatoes on each patty.
