Steps:
- Put the quinoa, a large pinch of salt and 2 1/4 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, and then adjust the heat so that the mixture bubbles gently. Cover, and cook, stirring once, until the grains are very tender and begin to burst, 25 to 30 minutes. When they are starchy and thick, transfer them to a large bowl to cool for a few minutes.
- Heat the oven to 200. Fold the pine nuts, raisins, parsley, and Parmesan into the quinoa, and add a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. With your hands, form the mixture into 8 patties.
- Put 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is warm, cook 4 cakes at a time until the bottoms are nicely browned and crisp, about 4 minutes. Flip, and brown on the other side, another 4 minutes. Transfer the cakes to the oven to keep warm while you cook the second batch with another tablespoon of oil. Serve with lemon wedges.

INDIAN-SPICED QUINOA WITH RAISINS AND PINE NUTS
I typically use a medium yellow onion instead of 2 shallots because that's usually what we have on hand. It's delicious either way! Also, it usually takes me a lot longer than 10 minutes for all the water to be absorbed, so just keep an eye on it and adjust the time accordingly. The recipe came from Vegan Planet.

QUINOA PILAF WITH PINE NUTS
This is hands down my favorite basic way of preparing quinoa. The Incas called quinoa "the mother of all grains" and I think it is such a nutritious and under used grain. Since it contains a balanced set of amino acids it is a complete protein source and best of all, it is gluten free. I use it instead oatmeal in the morning oftentimes (that recipe will be coming up)! This recipe is from Ellie Krieger and it's just a wonderful side dish or leftover snack.
