  • 1 tbsp ground flax seeds
  • A pinch of turmeric
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro or parsley
  • 1–2 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

Step 1

Grate the zucchini and place it in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the quinoa (or sorghum) flour, water, ground flax seeds, turmeric, salt, paprika, and chopped cilantro or parsley. Mix until a semi-thick dough forms.

Step 3

Shape the mixture into patties or cakes about 1 inch thick.

Step 4

Heat a nonstick skillet with a small amount of cooking oil over medium heat.
