Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat baking sheet with cooking spray. Combine egg, flour, tahini, and vinegar in bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients, then mash together until mixture is firm enough to shape into cakes. Shape mixture into 1/4 cup patties with wet hands. Bake on prepared baking sheet 25 minutes, turning once, or until cakes are browned.
- For Sauce: Puree all ingredients in food processor. Serve over quinoa cakes.
- Notes:
- I use the roasted tomatoes from New Seasons olive bar, they are way better in flavor.
- You can experiment with this recipe once you have tried it by replacing 1 cup quinoa with lentils and season with curry powder to make Indian koftas.
