Fenugreek Broccoli Quinoa Cakes
Advertisement
There was a chocolate contest going on last week in another group I am member of. I was really craving for something savoury and healthy after a week of chocolate indulgence . (I posted few recipes there). There were few green veggies in my refrigerator. You better eat them all within two days otherwise they get spoiled. So I was thinking how to mix two or three veggies and make some savoury snack or breakfast as well. Thought of giving a try to combination of quinoa and veggies by baking small size cakes and I really loved these crispy on surface and chewy cheesy cakes. You won't believe that it's stuffed with broccoli and fenugreek 😀.

- Add to semolina the grated cheese, black pepper, whisked egg, Italian seasoning and mix well.
- When quinoa mixture is cool to touch add it to the semolina mixture and mix well to incorporate everything.
- Preheat oven to 190°C.
- Form small circular cakes and keep on oven safe pan. You may brush some oil on top of the cakes.
- Bake for 15 min on one side.
- Then turn all the cakes upside down and bake for 10 more minutes.
- They are done now but if you wish to nicely brown them then bake for 5 more minutes.
Notes
You may substitute egg with flaxseed egg(1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2 tbsp water set for 5 min) and make the cakes eggless.
