INGREDIENTS
For the quinoa cakes
* 2-2 1/4 cups cooked quinoa or 1 cup organic uncooked quinoa, rinsed and drained and 1 3/4 cups water or stock (cooking it in broth or stock makes it way more flavorful)
* 3 good-sized garlic cloves, minced
* 1 small onion, chopped
* 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained (*optional) – but if you do add them, use Eden Organic since their cans are BPA-free
* 2-3 big handfuls of spinach, chard or kale leaves, washed, dried and roughly chopped (unless you’re using baby spinach in which case no chopping is necessary)
* 3 large eggs, beaten (pasture-raised are the best kind if you can get ‘em)
* 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
* 1 Tbsp garam masala or curry powder
* 1/2 Tbsp ground cumin
* Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
* Olive oil (4-5 Tbsps)
* Breadcrumbs or flour, optional (if your mixture is too loose)
For the yogurt sauce
* 1 cup whole milk yogurt
* 1/2 garlic clove, minced
* 1/2 small-medium cucumber, peeled and diced (optional – but it gives a nice crunch)
* 1 large handful of fresh cilantro leaves, washed, dried and chopped
* 1 small handful of fresh parsley leaves, washed, dried and chopped
* Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
* 1-3 Tbsp milk to thin the sauce, if desired
