Quinoa Corn Cakes

We are quinoa addicts. 

Honestly, like the whole family.

I try to make it at least three times a week.

We even have a insider name for it, "the poop grain".

I mean lets keep it real, or in this case regular, anything with that much fiber is helping out if you know what I mean.

But I digress. 

What you will need:

- 2 cups cooked quinoa {and if it is your first time making it MAKE SURE TO RINSE IT OUT!}

- 3 tbsp all purpose flour

- 1 egg slightly beaten

- Juice from half a lemon

- 2 tsp pepper

- 1 tsp salt

- Corn from to ears

- Olive oil

For dressing:

- 1/4 cup sour cream or greek yogurt

- 2 tbsp of lemon juice

- Salt and pepper to taste

- Scallion

-Mix all ingredients except oil olive.  Set to the side for about 5 mins. Heat about 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat.  Form patties about 1/4 in thick, if your patties are too wet add a little more flour.  Then fry them about 5mins per side. Just keep an eye and adjust the temp as needed. I worked in batches and  used the oven to keep them warm.

For the dressing mix the sour cream, lemon and s&p. 

Spread on warm cake then sprinkle with scallion.

Makes about 9 cakes.

These turned out super yummy.

I hope to play around some more and come up with other varieties.

Enjoy!

And eat your quinoa on the "regular"!
