Ingredients

The quinoa cakes

  • 2 ½ cups cooked white quinoa
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup finely chopped fresh basil
  • ½ cup finely minced red onion
  • cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 ½ cups bread crumbs
  • as needed olive oil or clarified butter

The cashew cream

  • 1 ½ cups raw cashews
  • 1 roasted red bell pepper
  • ¾ cup filtered water
  • 1 small clove garlic
  • ¼ cup minced red onion
  • ¾ tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the quinoa, eggs, and salt in a large bowl and mix well.
  2. Add basil, red onion, cheese, garlic, and breadcrumbs to the bowl and stir.
  3. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb moisture.
  4. Adjust the mixture's consistency by adding more breadcrumbs if too wet or a small amount of water if too dry.
  5. Heat olive oil or clarified butter in a skillet over medium-low heat.
  6. Form the mixture into 12 small patties and place them in the skillet, ensuring they have space between them.
  7. Cover and cook for 7-10 minutes until the bottoms are crisp and browned.
  8. Flip the patties and cook the second side for about 7 minutes more.
  9. Remove from the skillet and cool on a wire rack while cooking the remaining patties.
  10. For the cashew cream, blend all ingredients in a high-powered blender until smooth.
