Spinach and Goat Cheese Quinoa Cakes

October 16, 2013 by afpadmin Leave a Comment

Quinoa Cakes Finished

This has been an exhausting week for me. I drove from Virginia to Charleston, SC for a friends wedding. It was a long weekend of festivities, that while fun, take their toll. After the wedding I drove to Atlanta to watch the happy couples dogs while they were on their honeymoon. About 15 minutes from their house my radiator decided to blow up. So there I was standing by the side of one of the busiest Atlanta roads…holding my dog…while my car smoked and poured coolant onto the highway.

Needless to say, by the time I got to my friends house I was craving some warm delicious comfort food. I wanted something hearty, filling, and it definitely had to have cheese. After some deliberation I decided to make these spinach and goat cheese quinoa cakes. They were easy, fast, and exactly what I needed. The quinoa cakes were delicious and exactly what I wanted after my long weekend of travelling.

Local Ingredient: Goat Cheese (purchased from the local farmers market).

  • Start by cooking the quinoa until it is fork tender.
  • Put all the ingredients together in a large bowl and mix well.
  • Take the mixture and form six equal size cakes. Place them on an unlined baking sheet.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes. Serve warm.
