Preparation Steps
  1. Start by rinsing 1 cup of quinoa under cold water to remove its natural bitterness.
  2. Chop your mixed vegetables and onion into small, uniform pieces.
  3. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of vegetable broth or water to a boil.
  4. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. In a large non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
  6. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté for about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Add your mixed vegetables and cook for another 5-7 minutes until tender.
  8. Once the quinoa is fluffy, transfer it to a mixing bowl.
  9. Add the sautéed vegetables, flaxseed mixture, and breadcrumbs to the bowl.
  10. Form the mixture into ½-inch thick patties.
  11. In the skillet, add another 2 tablespoons of olive oil and fry the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  12. Alternatively, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
