Quinoa Cake is a nutritious and flavorful dish made primarily with quinoa, a protein-packed supergrain originating from South America. This versatile cake combines cooked quinoa with a medley of fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices, often bound together with eggs or a plant-based alternative. Common add-ins include garlic, onion, carrots, and spinach, creating a savory and wholesome patty. Rich in complete protein, fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium and iron, quinoa cakes are a healthy choice for vegetarians and those seeking gluten-free options. Lightly pan-fried or baked, they offer a crispy exterior with a tender, nutrient-dense center. While typically a low-fat dish, variations with added cheese, oils, or creamy sauces can increase calorie content. Whether served as a standalone snack, over salads, or alongside hearty mains, quinoa cakes are a nutritious and delicious way to enjoy the health benefits of quinoa in a global fusion recipe.
