Quinoa & Spinach… cakes??

I’m not exactly sure that cake or patty is the right work for this kick ass bulbous concotion…. but for the sake of not making up terms…

QUINOA-SPINACH CAKES! (note: my measurements made 18)

• 2 tbsp curry, mustard seeds
• 1 lbs spinach
• 12 oz cashew
• 12 oz rollled oats
• 1 qt cooked quinoa
• 3 onions, diced
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 3 tbsp vegan worcester sauce
• salt/pepper to taste

In a large bowl mix 1/2 lb spinach & quinoa. In a food processor grind up cashews and rolled oats and add to the bowl. Then puree the other 1/2 lb spinach with olive oil in the food processor and add to the bowl. Mix in onions, garlic vinegar, worcester sauce, and spices. The mixture should be sticky and moist.

Scoop into 6 oz ‘balls’ and bake at 275F for 20 minutes. They will be dry and crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The color is FANTASTIC!!! I served them with rosemary roasted carrots and a mixed green salad. Pretty freakin’ good :)
