Quinoa Cakes

Crispy quinoa cakes with a fresh salad, toasted pine nuts and an almond, rosemary and lemon dressing. ⁣

Slight variation to the buddha bowl by changing up the quinoa look. So filling and doesn’t leave you feeling heavy and lethargic. ⁣

You can add extra vegetables into this but I decided to have it with a fresh salad as it’s been so humid. ⁣

Method

1. Heat a little oil in a pan and sauté the ginger, chillies and spices. ⁣
