Prep Time15 minsCook Time2 hrs 30 minsTotal Time2 hrs 45 mins
 8 cups water
 2 cups steel-cut oats
 2 cups dry quinoa
 1 small yellow onion
Spices
 4 tbsp chili powder
 3 tbsp cumin
 2 ½ tbsp garlic powder
 2 ½ tbsp fennel
 2 ½ tbsp sage
 2 tbsp smoked paprika
 1 ½ tbsp onion powder
 ½ tbsp black pepper
 ½ tbsp white pepper
 1 ½ tbsp salt
1

Add 2 cups of water to blender

2

Add all ingredients and spices, EXCEPT quinoa

3

Add 2 more cups of water

4

Blend thoroughly (You may have to split this part of the process into two blender loads!)

5

Blend contents thoroughly, 30 seconds to one minute (Continue until oats become finely ground)

6

Mixture should be a creamy consistency rather than chunky

7

Add this mixture to a crock pot set to high heat

8

Add 2 even cups of dry quinoa to the crockpot

9

Add 4 cups cup of water to this mixture

10

Stir all ingredients VERY well with a spoon and/or whisk
(You must make sure the quinoa is evenly distributed and mixed in)

11

Cover and simmer. Stir sides and bottom of the crock to avoid crusting every 15-20 minutes

12

Cook for about 2 hours until there is no (or very little) sitting water

13

For particularly powerful crock pots, consider using medium heat instead of high

14

This recipe may take some fine-tuning depending on your equipment!

15

By the end of cooking, the goetta should be sticky and goopy
Quinoa should be soft

16

Once goetta is fully cooked, stir the mixture one final time

Set and Cool
17

Scoop the goetta from the crock pot

18

Press it into 2 aluminum or non-stick reusable baking trays (Approximately 9” long x 4” wide x 2 ½ “ deep)

19

Make sure they are evenly packed and spread

20

If using a reusable tin, you may want to spray it with non-stick vegan grease

21

Tamp the top of goetta even and flat for best setting results

22

Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight

Frying Goetta
23

Preparation takes frying the goetta two times for optimal results

24

Begin by removing the cooled goetta from the tin

25

Turn upside-down onto a cutting board

26

Then pull the tin away from the edges and lift the aluminum off

27

Slice the goetta along the short width, creating small rectangular sausages to fry

28

For the first frying, add ample olive oil to a hot flat-top skillet or grill

29

Place slices of goetta on the flat top, moving around at first to evenly distribute olive oil

30

Fry until browned and crisped (usually 8-10 minutes)

31

Flip and repeat the frying process for the other side

32

Move the fried goetta to a wire drying rack

33

Allow to cool for 30 minutes to an hour to become more crisp

34

Finally, re-heat the cooled and crispy goetta on a hot flat-top grill

35

Now it’s ready to serve!
