Quinoa Corn Patties with Cool and Creamy Onion Dip

August 17, 2011 by Faith 49 Comments

Quinoa Corn Patties with Cool and Creamy Onion Dip

Corn is amazing this time of year…it’s almost as sweet as candy! It’s definitely one of my favorite sides for any grilled meal, and usually (since I’m a little corn-crazy), I end up grilling or steaming a few too many ears of it.

That’s always a good thing though!

So, what to do with leftover corn? I like to add it to salads, stir-fries, or fried rice, make it into corn chowder, or turn it into croquettes like I did in this recipe.

Cool and Creamy Onion Dip

I served these quinoa corn patties with a cool and creamy onion dip. A combo of Greek yogurt and sour cream gives the dip a nice refreshing tang, and two different kinds of onion add great flavor and provide the perfect contrast to the corn’s sweetness.

And no problem if your corn isn’t already cooked! Just cut it off the cob and sauté it along with the onion.

Quinoa Corn Patties with Cool and Creamy Onion Dip
Prep time:  30 mins
Cook time:  30 mins
Total time:  1 hour 0 min
Yield: 4 servings
 
Ingredients
Quinoa Corn Patties:
  • ¼ cup uncooked quinoa
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup warm water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup (about 1 medium-large cob) corn kernels, cooked (either steamed or grilled) and cut off the cob
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley or chives
  • 4-6 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • Canola oil, for shallow frying
Cool and Creamy Onion Dip:
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ½ small onion, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
  1. For the Quinoa Corn Patties, soak the quinoa in cold water for 15 minutes; strain through a fine mesh sieve, then thoroughly rinse under cold running water.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a medium lidded saucepan over medium heat; add the onion and sauté until softened and starting to turn golden, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté 1 minute more.
  3. Add the rinsed quinoa, warm water, salt, and pepper. Turn the heat up to high and bring up to a boil; once boiling, give it a stir, cover the saucepan, and turn heat down to a gentle simmer. Cook 14 minutes, then turn heat off and let sit with the lid on for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. Cool slightly, then transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the corn, eggs, and parsley. Stir in 4 tablespoons of breadcrumbs, then add 1 to 2 tablespoons more as needed so the mixture holds its shape when formed into patties. Form the mixture into 4 patties.
  4. Add canola oil to lightly coat the bottom of a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the patties and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  5. For the Cool and Creamy Onion Dip, stir together all ingredients; cover and keep refrigerated until serving.

    I made this today and it turned out great! I doubled the recipe but didn’t have time to make the dip. I’ve been looking for recipes to help get some quinoa in our diet and this is a definite keeper! Thx for sharing!

    These were totally great. Totally totally great. The recipe is exact, it came out perfectly. You really cant add any more corn than it states or you will need to increase the rest of the ingredients. Its also really easy to tweak the ingredients. I used cilantro and added feta crumbles. These are a killer way to use fresh corn, and the quinoa is a perfect grain for this patty.

    My dear Faith…how you’ve been missed…especially since you’re one of those selective cooks I’d love having a meal from ;o)

    Of course, I did have a quick look around…and boy have you been a busy kitchen bee!

    I stopped at this post because it was one of my favourite finds…especially since I’ve been experimenting with several gluten-free meals.

    BTW…I love the new elegant look you’ve given to showcase your culinary presentations ;o)

    Ciao for now and flavourful wishes,
    Claudia

      ursula-apples, I haven’t tried it with anything else, but I think it would work with barley, bulgur wheat, rice, or even couscous (just be sure to cook whatever you’re using first). Also, feel free to adjust the amount of egg and/or breadcrumbs if you need to so that it sticks together and you can form patties. Hope this helps! :)

In addition to apple, nuts, and cinnamon, it’s heavy on the apricot and I think it’s my favorite version yet. 🥰 And by that I mean it’s good enough to enjoy year-round and not just save for #passover. I will definitely be sharing the recipe on my blog soon. 😘 #chagsemeach #pesach #pesach2021 #dayenu #foodstyling #foodphotography

It's #paleo and easy to make #lowcarb and #ketofriendly. And it doesn't need a lot of time; just 10 minutes of prep time and 20 minutes to cook.

These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as y These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as you can see they look nothing like they're supposed to! 🙈😁 I'd call the recipe a flop in that sense, except for 2 things: 1) they still taste great (swipe through to the last photo showing their pillow-y interior), and 2) I made them on a Zoom call together with my dear friend Evelyene (@cultureatz). Eve and I virtually met around the time we both started blogging (she lives in Montreal), which was over a decade ago (it's crazy to think how fast time flies!).

When we first met in real life last year before the pandemic hit, it was an instant connection. It was lots of laughs, local exploration, good food, great conversation, and she even brought me bagels from her hometown! She's a kindred soul. 🥰❤️ Since then we've stayed connected and have spent a few afternoons cooking together. We've made Russian dumplings called Pelmeni and we had a holiday cake-off where I made a Gingerbread Roll Cake and Eve made a Pumpkin Roll Cake.

She and I used the same recipe for French Crullers and it didn't work as expected for either of us (just wait until you see how Evelyne's turned out, they're completely different from mine!), but still I'd call it a success.

I think this delicious disaster deserves to be commemorated, so I wanted to style and photograph them. Even though the prop styling is minimal, it's an eclectic grouping:

1) Background: Scrap marble at a floor tile store in Jacksonville, Florida. The lady was awesome, she told me to look around and take any scrap tile I could use.
2) Cake stand (swipe through to see it better): I got this at my favorite ceramics store in Paris, France called @astierdevillatte in May 2015.
3) Espresso cups: Seller @madhouseceramics on @etsy.
4) Small spoons: Seller Ann Cutting from ceramicpix on @etsy.
5) Espresso: My favorite espresso @lavazzausa.
