Curry Quinoa Cakes

These quinoa cakes are crispy and flavorful and delightful as a light meal on their own or as an innovative appetizer. Serve them with Curry Dipping Sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup peas, if frozen, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons onion, shredded
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch, dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon red curry paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
  • sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil, divided

Instructions

  • Combine quinoa, water and broth in small saucepan, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine quinoa with remaining ingredients (except oil).
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large, nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Drop 8 generous 2-tablespoon scoops of the quinoa mixture into the pan, flattening into a pancake shape with a spatula or spoon. Cook until browned on bottom, about 1-2 minutes. Carefully flip, and cook another 1-2 minutes.
  • Add remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan, and bring up to heat. Repeat with remaining quinoa cake batter.
