I just tried this recipe last night and it was delicious! I omitted the feta cheese and used dried basil for flavor instead of the fresh basil (mainly because I wanted to keep it low budget and use stuff I already had). It was delicious!

I love to add Trader Joe's Corn Salsa to my cooked quinoa. it adds a wonderful spicy sweetness. You could add as little as 1-2 T to a cup of cooked quinoa and get the desired flavor.0

I made this the other day, and it was very good. I used spinach, 0% fat Greek yogurt and the healthy request cream of mushroom, instead of broccoli, mayo and regular cream of mushroom. I also added sliced mushrooms. Next time, I think I will add Some grilled chicken.

I have used this and it is a great subsitute for rice. I have only made it according to the package directions. The only change that I have made is to use chicken stock rather than just water. My kids prefer it that way.0

GARLIC AND THYME QUINOA PATTIES
Adapted from Super Natural Every Day by Heidi Swanson
Preparation Time – 20 minutes
Cooking Time – 20 minutes
Makes – 20
Ingredients
2 and 1/2 cups cooked quinoa
5 organic eggs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 whole meal bread slices, processed into breadcrumbs
1/4 cup chives, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 large Spanish onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
1 teaspoon mild paprika
sea salt flakes to taste
olive oil to pan fry
Method
Put all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well with a large wooden spoon until thoroughly combined.
Scoop some mixture in the palm of your hands to shape a patties approximately 5cm in diameter and 1cm thick. This size will yield approximately 20 patties with the mixture you have. (You can make them smaller and thicker or large and flatter as per your preference.)
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. Gently place 4-5 patties in the pan and shallow fry, cooking each side for 2 minutes before gently flipping over with a small spatula to cook the other side. Repeat till all patties are cooked. Use a tablespoon of oil each time you start cooking a new batch of patties.
Serve hot or cold with ketchup and salad greens.
Notes
These are delicate patties and a tad tricky to shape as they may stick to your hands or fall apart in the pan. Gently handling will prevent them from falling apart. once one side is cooked, they become easier to manage and even flatten nicely for even browning.
If you find it impossible to work with them or shape them, try adding 1 tablespoon of plain flour to make them hold their shape.0 -
I just tried the Spicy Quinoa recipe from All Recipes for dinner tonight. It was absolutely amazing. I made it for the guy I've just started to date, along with some salmon and asparagus. It was my first time cooking for him and he took seconds of everything. The recipe has almost an Indian flavor to it (it's got lots of curry powder and some cumin). I added a little extra chicken broth to keep it moist, but that is the only change I made to the recipe.
