Parmesan Quinoa Cakes

Okay, this recipe is similar to the other recipe for quinoa patties that I posted earlier...... BUT - this one uses ingredients found in almost any kitchen, year round. We don't always have fresh herbs on hand, and while dried is a good substitute, I am not a fan of dried thyme, so would much rather eat it fresh (which I don't currently have). These ones also have less filler (ie. breadcrumbs and extra eggs). Here's the new quinoa cake recipe. These were VERY declicious and thoroughly enjoyed by all members of the family. Enjoy!

Parmesan Quinoa Cakes/Patties
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 egg, lightly beatened
  • 3/4 cup finely grated paremsan cheese
  • 3 tbsp AP flour
  • 1/2 small onion, diced
  • 1 tsp each salt and pepper
  • few tbsp olive oil for frying
1. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together, except for the oil. Once fully combined, allow to sit a few minutes.
2. Pour oil into a large skillet and head on med-high heat. Form quinoa mixture into patties, then place in hot oil in skillet. Fry on each side for a few minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat until all patties are browned. Serve (w/ Garlic Aioli) and ENJOY!
