Cook the quinoa
25 minRinse the quinoa thoroughly in a strainer. Add 300 ml salted water, cover, and cook for 12–15 minutes, until the water is absorbed. Let cool for 10 minutes.
Make the mixture
10 minCoarsely grate the zucchini, sprinkle with salt, and let stand for 5 minutes. Squeeze out the water with your hands. Mix with the quinoa, cheese, eggs, breadcrumbs, pressed garlic, salt, and pepper.
Pan-fry the patties
20 minWith damp hands, shape the mixture into 10 patties. Pan-fry in the oil over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden.
Make the dip
Mix the yogurt with the dill and salt, and serve alongside the patties.
Tip: Let the prepared mixture rest for 10 minutes so the breadcrumbs absorb the moisture, making the patties easier to shape and flip.
