Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup quinoa
Salt
1/4 cup chopped almonds
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Lemon wedges for serving

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 almonds, shallots, rosemary and mustard 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.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my quinoa cakes turned out mushy. I think I'll try again with a different recipe.

These quinoa cakes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasonings next time.

I'm not a huge fan of quinoa, but these cakes were surprisingly good. The almonds and rosemary added a lot of flavor and the Dijon mustard gave them a nice kick.

These quinoa cakes were delicious! I used almond flour instead of breadcrumbs and they were still crispy and flavorful.

These quinoa cakes were a hit! I used a muffin tin to cook them and they turned out perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The flavor combination of almonds, rosemary, and Dijon mustard was delicious.
