Gluten Free. Vegan & Soy Free Versions. Anti-Inflammatory. These patties may just become one of your favorite summer go to meals. We've used finely ground raw quinoa and walnuts in place of breadcrumbs here to give you a low carb meal that is high in protein as well. We like to soak the quinoa while we prepare the rest of the meal - this can make it a little easier for the tummy to digest. This is what your quinoa-walnut meal should look like after processed. These patties are actually pretty filling on their own, so we recommend pairing them with something light like mixed greens or crispy kale. You will grate the zucchini and then let it sit in a colander to sweat out its extra moisture. The batter will be wet and you will not be able to form patties with it easily. We recommend placing the batter in the fridge for 10-20 minutes if you have time prior to cooking to help it stick together. To make your patties, simply, use a 1/3 cup measuring cup and scoop out the batter, then place the mound in a hot skillet and smoosh into a pattie using a spatula.
