The best way to use up leftover quinoa is to make cakes out of them. They make for a fantastic appetizer or a savory side to go along with any meal. This version is crispy on the outside and melt in your mouth on the inside.

Im interested in good food but not rich food. Im trying to keep my weight down as Im prediabetic.
1 patty is 160 calories.
how many patties is considered a serving and thus the 160 calories?
without oil is what I used, but either should work and yes it is for Passover.
Should I buy the sun-dried tomatoes with or without oil? Also, can this be a Passover recipe?
