Kale Parmesan Quinoa Burgers

A big thanks to my friend Imee of LittleLicious Kids (www.littleliciouskids.blogspot.com) for collaborating with me on healthy recipes for both kids and adults.  These were absolutely delicious, and packed with veggies and protein!  My son loved them.

(I added a few seasonings to this recipe)

Serves:  About 12 patties

Ingredients:

2 Cups low sodium chicken broth
1 Cup quinoa
2 Large handfuls of kale
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Small onion, diced
4 Eggs
1 Cup panko or breadcrumbs
1/2 Cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 Tsp garlic powder
1/2 Tsp salt
1/2 Tsp pepper

Method:

Cook quinoa according to package.  Set aside to cool.

In a separate pan, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat and add kale and onions. Toss until tender.  Set aside and cool.

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients, adding in the quinoa and kale mixture once cooled.  Form into palm sized patties.

Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet and cook 4-5 patties at a time for 5 minutes on each side, or until browned on both sides.

Cook the remaining patties, or freeze for later use.
