Tips:

  • Choose the right quinoa: For the best texture, use a white or tri-color quinoa. These varieties hold their shape better than red quinoa, which can become mushy.
  • Cook the quinoa properly: Be sure to cook the quinoa according to the package directions. If you overcook it, it will become too soft and mushy.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your cakes the best flavor. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen vegetables, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the cakes over medium heat: Cooking the cakes over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the cakes with a dipping sauce: A dipping sauce will add flavor and moisture to the cakes. The roasted garlic and lemon aioli is a great option, but you can also use your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Cheesy quinoa cakes with a roasted garlic and lemon aioli are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're great for a party or potluck, and they can also be made ahead of time and reheated before serving. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe to try, give these cheesy quinoa cakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
