    • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, or 2 cups of leftover cooked quinoa and skip quinoa cooking instructions

How to make savory cutlets

  • If not already prepared, start to make the roasted tempeh and vegetables dish.
  • Once quinoa is washed, place it in a sauce pan with broth and sea salt.
  • Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn to low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Once the quinoa is cooked, add the frozen green peas, tamari and rosemary. Mix into the hot quinoa.
  • Mix in the roasted tempeh and vegetables.
  • Briefly blend half of this mixture in a food processor and mix it back into the unblended half.
  • At this point, the mixture can be refrigerated and prepared later, or can be made into cutlets immediately.
  • Put parchment paper down on a baking sheet. If you don’t have parchment paper, you can oil your baking sheet.
  • Cutlets can even stick a little to a non-stick baking sheet which messes up the cutlets, so I greatly prefer parchment paper because it always makes for very easy removal.
  • Form cutlets, square patties, with hands and place cutlets on baking sheet.
  • If the mixture seems a little dry or crumbly and it is difficult to form the cutlets, add some water until it gets a little mushy so that the croquettes can be easily formed, and so they stay together.
  • If the mixture seems a little too wet, add some brown rice flour.
  • Overall, you want about 8 cutlets.
  • If desired, spray a little oil on each cutlet. This will make them brown nicely and give them a lightly crisp crust.
  • Bake in a 400 degrees F oven, no need to preheat oven, for 25 minutes.
  • Flip cutlets and bake another 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and have crispy edges.
  • If the mixture was cold from the refrigerator when you started, check to make sure that the cutlets are sufficiently warmed through.
  • Variations:
    • Use rice in place of the quinoa and then cook the rice for 55 minutes.
    • This mixture can also be formed into small bite sized servings and served as an appetizer. Very suitable finger food.
