1. Vegan quinoa patties

Quinoa is rich in vegetable proteins, vitamins (B, C, and E), and essential minerals (iron and calcium). This recipe is easy to prepare and is a good choice to help you include more plant-based foods in your young children’s daily diet.

Ingredients

• 200 g of quinoa
• 100 g of carrots
• 70 g of oat flakes
• 30 ml of vegetable milk
• 1 onion
• 1 leek
• Garlic
• Breadcrumbs
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Parsley, thyme, and oregano
• Salt and pepper

Preparation

• To begin, wash and rinse the quinoa grains and boil them in a pot for approximately 20 minutes.
• Strain the quinoa and set aside.
• Peel the onion, garlic, and leek and cut them into julienne strips.
• Put the vegetables in a blender or food processor and process until the ingredients are well-combined.
• Although you can cook them before the previous step, it isn’t necessary to do so and it will take you longer.
• Add the vegetable milk, cooked quinoa, oats, salt, and spices to taste and stir.
• Then, peel, wash, and grate the carrots over the mixture and integrate everything.
• Add the breadcrumbs until you get a consistent texture.
• Set aside in the fridge for a couple of hours so that they won’t lose their consistency.
• You can cook them in two ways: pan-fry them or bake them.
• To pan fry them, pour plenty of virgin olive oil in a pan and cook the patties there when the oil is hot enough. Remove the excess oil with paper towels.
• To bake, arrange the patties on a suitable baking tray and bake for ten minutes on each side at 350°F with top and bottom heat.
• Now they’re ready to eat!

2. Vegan rice patties

These patties are made with basic ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. Thus, this recipe can be a lifesaver when you don’t know what to cook! Also, it can help prevent you from consuming processed foods to address a lack of ideas and ingredients.

Ingredients

• 80 g of brown rice
• 100 g of carrots
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 onion
• 1 red pepper
• Cornmeal
• Breadcrumbs
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper

Preparation

• First, peel and cut the onions, carrots, and garlic and add them to a pan with a little olive oil. Cook over low heat for about 15 minutes.
• Add the previously peeled and chopped red pepper and cooked brown rice. Mix well to integrate all the flavors.
• Take small portions of the dough and make patties. Then, dip them in cornmeal or breadcrumbs (whichever you prefer).
• We recommend using a frying pan to cook them if you dipped them in cornmeal because they may not cook well in the oven.
• Heat plenty of oil and add the patties one by one so the oil doesn’t lose temperature.
• When you take them out of the pan, put them on a tray with paper towels to remove the excess oil.
• Enjoy!

To accompany these vegan burger patties, you can opt for multi-grain or whole-wheat bread and add tomato, vegan mayonnaise, pesto sauce, mustard, vegan cheese, mushrooms, or any combination that you find tasty.

If you prefer to eat the patties without bread, you can combine them with arugula, tomato, and mustard or vinaigrette salad. Also, to complete lunch or dinner, prepare creamed vegetables (zucchini, squash, or spinach) and eat fruit for dessert. This way, you’ll meet your nutrient requirements.
