Let me start this post by saying these delectable cakes were quite possibly my first kitchen disaster. I was really excited to try the recipe since I love quinoa so much, but I was nervous. The first time I saw quinoa I was thinking “what the heck is quinoa and how do I even pronounce it?" Well, its a super grain and its pronounced “keen-wah”. If you’re looking for a highly nutritious carbohydrate you have found it in quinoa. It has a pretty similar nutritional profile to that of brown rice except it’s slightly higher in overall protein content.
So you can understand my excitement when I saw this take on
quinoa cakes (similar to crab cakes.) You could also use it between two burger
buns, which I’m sure would make a great veggie burger. Below you will find the
recipe I used which I modified after my "kitchen disaster."
