Spicy Quinoa Cakes with Lime & Cilantro Sour Cream

I’ve been obsessing over making quinoa cakes since I had them at Lodge in Williamsburg a few weeks back…

2 cups cooked Quinoa (I used a combo of black and white quinoa)
3 Eggs, lightly beaten 
1 Jalapeno, seeds removed, minced
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 small Red Bell Pepper, chopped in to small pieces
1/2 cup chopped Cilantro 
3/4 cup Bread Crumbs (plus more if needed)
Salt to taste
Olive oil
1 small container Sour Cream
1 1/2 Limes 

In a bowl, season quinoa with salt.  Add garlic, red pepper, 1/4 cup of cilantro, jalapeno to the quinoa and mix together.  Add eggs and toss together.  Add bread crumbs and mix together.  Let sit for a few minutes until the liquid is absorbed (you’re going to form patties, so add more breadcrumbs if it’s too soft, or a little bit of water if too dry).  Form into patties with your hands (whichever size you like, but make sure they’re not too thick).  Heat olive oil in a saute pan.  Cook each side of the patties on low/medium heat until brown, carefully flipping over.  For the sour cream, combine remaining cilantro and juice from the limes and mix together.  Top quinoa cakes with lime & cilantro sour cream and serve.

Mandarin Ducks nest in tree holes. When the ducklings are only 24 hours old, they follow their mother and leave the nest. They can’t fly yet, but luckily the long drop does not harm them. (Planet Earth - BBC)

Skagen is the northernmost point of Denmark, where the Baltic and North Seas meet. The two opposing tides in this place can not merge because they have different densities.
