Deviled Egg Crisps With Crunchy Quinoa Recipes

CRISPY QUINOA PATTIES

Steps:

• Combine the quinoa, eggs, salt, and lemon pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the parsley, onion, cheese, and garlic. Stir in the bread crumbs and chopped carrot/zucchini. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes so the crumbs absorb some of the moisture.
• At this point, you should have a mixture you can easily form into 20 thick patties. You want the mixture moist, so the patties aren't dry tasting. However, you want the mixture to hold together when cooking. You can add more bread crumbs to firm up the mixture, if needed. Alternatively, you can add a couple drops of water to moisten the mixture. *The uncooked quinoa mixture keeps nicely in the refrigerator for a few days. Cover tightly and cook the patties when you have time.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat, add 5-6 patties, cover, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes until the bottoms are deeply browned. Carefully flip the patties with a spatula and cook the second sides for 5 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the skillet and cool on a large plate while you cook the remaining patties. Add more oil to the skillet if needed between each batch.
• Serve plain or in a pita, on a salad, on a sandwich, with sliced avocado, with hot sauce on top, etc etc. There are so many ways to enjoy them!

DEVILED EGG CRISPS WITH CRUNCHY QUINOA

Steps:

• Set a fine sieve over a heatproof bowl. Heat 1/4 inch of canola oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the cooked and cooled quinoa and fry, stirring, until the sizzling stops, about 2 minutes. Transfer the quinoa to the sieve to drain, then transfer it to paper towels to remove any excess oil; season with salt.
• Combine the eggs, mayonnaise, mustard and hot sauce in a food processor; puree until smooth. Scrape down the side of the bowl and puree again. Season the deviled egg puree with salt and white pepper.
• Using a rubber spatula, transfer the deviled egg puree to a large resealable plastic bag. Press the puree into one corner of the bag, then snip off the corner with scissors. Pipe the puree onto crackers. Top the crisps with the crunchy quinoa and snipped chives and serve.

SOFT SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH KALE AND CRISPY QUINOA

Steps:

• Set a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and heat to shimmering. Add the ginger and cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add the quinoa and shake the skillet to spread it out into an even layer. Cook, without stirring, until the bottom gets crispy, about 3 minutes.
• Flip the quinoa and continue cooking until the other side gets crispy, about 3 minutes. Add the kale, season with a pinch of salt and a twist of pepper, stir to combine and cook for 1 minute. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut water to thoroughly blend. Wipe out the skillet, set it over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, then immediately add the eggs and begin stirring. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and a twist of pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until small, soft curds form, about 2 minutes.
• Serve the scrambled eggs on top of the crispy quinoa.
• Make the quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine 3 1/4 cups water, 2 cups quinoa (rinsed) and a good pinch of salt. Bring to a boil. Stir the quinoa, cover, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the quinoa pops open (releasing the circular white germ of the seed) and all the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Spread the quinoa out on a sheet pan and let cool before transferring it to an airtight container. Cooked quinoa will last up to 5 days in the fridge.

TURKEY, BEAN AND QUINOA CHILI WITH CRISPY TORTILLA STRIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Bring a medium saucepan filled two-thirds full of water to a boil. Stir in the quinoa and a small handful of salt. Adjust the heat and simmer 10 minutes. Drain and return the quinoa to the saucepan.
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of the oil until shimmering. Add the turkey and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until the turkey is almost cooked through and starts to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the onion, bell pepper, minced jalapeño, garlic and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, 6 to 8 minutes; reduce the heat if the ingredients brown too quickly.
• Meanwhile, toss the tortilla strips with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil on a large rimmed baking sheet. Spread the strips in an even layer and bake until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and let cool.
• Add the chili powder and cumin to the saucepan with the turkey and continue to cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the chickpeas and cooked quinoa and simmer until thickened slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste the chili and season with salt and pepper.
• Ladle the chili into bowls and top with the crispy tortilla strips, sliced jalapeño, Parmesan and cilantro.
