Healthy Tuna and Quinoa Patties Recipe
For the patties:
- 2 cans (280) Tuna, drained
- 1 cup (175g) Quinoa + 2 cups (480ml) water
- 3 Eggs
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, crushed
- 2 tablespoon chopped parsley
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- Olive oil for frying
Dipping sauce:
- 1/2 cup (125g) Yogurt
- 1-2 tablespoons raw tahini
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
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. To the quinoa add chopped onion, chopped parsley, tuna, eggs and spices. Mix until combined. Form into patties.
3. Option 1: 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.
4. Option 2: preheat oven to 350F (175C). Place the patties on a baking trey lined with parchment paper, spray each patty with oil and bake the patties for 25-30 minutes, until golden.
5. Make the dipping sauce: in a small bowl whisk all sauce ingredients.

Best Tuna Patties I've ever made! Whole family liked them . Even the picky eater. :-)
ReplyGlad you liked it :)
ReplyThank you so much! I had some canned tuna I didn't like and needed a way to use it up. I mixed the tuna with a bag of cooked quinoa (thawed), eggs and the seasonings. It was so easy and came out great!
ReplySoagy mess, that doesn't stick together. Proportions are a bit off. Not edible either, and I love quinoa, it doesn't seem to go well with tuna. Anyone had luck with this recipe ?
ReplyMy mixture was soggy too!
ReplyDumb bitch didnt drain qinua, LOL
ReplyTurned out great will definitely make again
ReplyUsed 2 eggs instead of 3. Turned out great.
ReplyJust took these out of the oven and they turned out perfect. Halved the recipe, used 1 egg, 1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa (cooled). Baked them instead of frying for 28 minutes. Tasty and filling lunch or snack
