Yield 14 3" Cakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound Kale, large stems removed and leaves finely chopped
1.5 tsp. kosher salt
3/4 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4" dice
2 Cups (12 ounces) quinoa, rinsed and well drained
1 small yellow Onion, finely diced
1/2 Cup (2 ounces) finely grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp. minced fresh dill
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
4 large eggs, beaten
Olive oil for frying

Steps:

  • 1. In a large pot, bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add kale and salt. Cook 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, scoop kale into a large bowl, reserving cooking water. 2. Bring reserved water back to a boil and add sweet potatoes. Simmer until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, scoop sweet potatoes into a bowl; set sweet potatoes aside and reserve cooking water. 3. Measure out 3 cups cooking water, discarding the rest, and pour it back into the pot. Bring water back to a boil, add quinoa, and stir. Reduce heat to a medium-low, cover pot, and simmer until water is absorbed, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside, covered, 10 minutes. 4. Add quinoa to bowl of kale and toss to combine. Gently mix in reserved sweet potatoes, onion, Parmesan, dill and cayenne. Set aside to cool 10 minutes. Add eggs and mix to combine. 5. Set out a large, rimmed baking sheet. Using a 1/2 cup measure, scoop quinoa mixture, press firmly to level the top, then turn cup over on baking sheet. Repeat to form 14 patties total. (At this point, the cakes can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated up to 1 day.) 6. In a large skillet, heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil over medium heat. Working in batches, cook 4-6 patties at a time until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Carefully flip the cakes and brown on the other side, about 4 minutes longer. Add more oil, as needed, to cook additional batches. Serve warm or at room temperature.

These quinoa cakes were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would use less oil next time.

These quinoa cakes were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would add more herbs and spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my quinoa cakes didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I might have cooked them over too low heat.

These quinoa cakes were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I served them with a side of roasted vegetables and a tahini sauce, and they were delicious.
