Beginner's Quinoa Cakes

Ingredients

• 2 servings chili powder 
• 400 grams quinoa cooked
• 3  eggs 
• 2 servings herbs italian
• 2 servings olive oil 
• 30 grams parmesan 
• 2 servings salt and pepper 

Equipment

• frying pan

Directions

1. I made these the very first time I made quinoa. They reminded us of potato pancakes.
2. Cook the quinoa according to package instructions.
3. Mix the cooked quinoa with the eggs, Parmesan cheese, herbs, spices, salt, and pepper. Form patties.
4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet until hot.
5. Carefully place the patties in the hot oil. Do not attempt to flip them until they seem pretty browned on the bottom or they might fall apart.
6. Cook until both sides are nicely browned.
7. Serve with tomato sauce, fresh herbs, or whatever you like. This recipe serves 2 as a main dish or about 4 as a side dish (make the patties a bit smaller so you get 8 instead of 6).
