(ROD) ~ Spinach & Feta Quinoa Cakes w/Lemon Dill Sauce!!




This quick and simply delicisous recipe will have your taste buds exploding. Quinoa is one of the worlds most "complete" super foods. Not only is it gluten-free but it also contains everything our bodies need; iron, B-vitamins, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, vitamin E, and fiber. It is the ultimate protein. Trust me ;)

Ingredients:

♨ 1/2 cup, plain Greek yogurt, reduced-fat or whole
♨  2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions
♨  2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
♨  1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill (divided)
♨  Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
♨  1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
♨  1/2 cup finely chopped onion
♨  2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
♨  5 ounces chopped baby spinach (or any blend of Spinach, Kale, Chard etc.)
♨  2 large eggs, beaten
♨  1 1/4 cups cooked quinoa
♨  2 ounces crumbled feta cheese
♨  1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
♨  1/2 cup bread crumbs



Directions:
Dill Sauce:

♨ Whisk together the yogurt, scallions, lemon juice, and 2 tsp dill in a small bowl.
♨  Season to taste with salt and pepper.
♨  Cover and refrigerate the sauce for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Quinoa Cakes:

♨  Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
♨  Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 4 minutes.
♨  Add the spinach and cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a
     medium-size bowl.
♨  Add the eggs, quinoa, feta, 1 TBS dill, lemon zest, and 1/4 tsp black pepper and mix well.
♨  Mix in the bread crumbs and let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the bread crumbs to
     absorb some of the moisture.
♨  Wipe out large skillet, and add 1 TBS oil. Heat for a few minutes.
♨  Form quinoa patties about 2 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. Place the patties in skillet,
     in batches if necessary. Cook the patties until they’re browned on the outside, 4 to 5 minutes per
     side, and then flip.
♨  Serve warm with lemon-dill yogurt sauce.
