Rinse the quinoa in a strainer for 30 seconds under running water. This helps to remove bitterness.

Add the two cups of water to a pot and bring to a boil. Add the quinoa, bringing to a boil, then reducing to a simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.

Steam the broccoli in pot with a steamer basket, until soft. Remove from pot and chop into small pieces. Use a food processor to mince if possible.

In a large bowl, combine the quinoa, broccoli, breadcrumbs, cheese, eggs, salt and pepper.

Heat enough oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet over medium heat.

Using 1/4 cup measure, make a ball out of the mixture and place it in the pan. Squash it down a little bit and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until each side has browned.

Serve with sour cream or ketchup!
