Title: Quinoa and Rice Cakes
Post by: achookwoman on December 05, 2013, 03:24:30 am
I was looking for some interesting Canapes for Xmas day.  Something I could prepare beforehand .  I had made some High Energy Rice and Quinoa (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=10744.0) for another dish so used this as the base. The resulting Cakes, patties or whatever you want to call them are fairly bland and will support any tasty topping.  They are very easy to make and can be frozen and reheated on day. Tthey are crisp on the outside and soft in the middle.

1  1/2 cups of cooked , mixed Rice and Quinoa
1/2 a large onion
2 large cloves of garlic
2 large eggs
1/4 cup of flour (use potato flour to make these GF)
1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
oil for frying

Zap onion and garlic in TMX and add 1 dessertspoon of oil and cook, 5 mins/100/ speed 1
Let Cool in TMX bowl.
When cool add all ingredients except Rice and Quinoa mix. Turbo twice or until mixed.  Scrape down and turbo once.
Add rice to bowl and mix in with spatula.
Tip into a bowl so you can easily scoop small amounts out with a small icecream scoop.
Heat a small amount of oil,(I used Rice Bran oil) in flat based pan and add small scoops of mix,  flatten with spatula and fry until golden.
Cook other side.
Drain on hand towel.
Top with a tasty mix of flavours.

Note
Can freeze
Can use all rice or all Quinoa.
Makes 14 X 6 cm. cakes

Also nice with Brie and Quince paste.
Even better reheated in frying pan,  no oil.

Help yourself ElleG. 
You could use potato flour to make these GF. 
Lemon Feather Cake is also GF.

These really are easy.  I had left over Rice and Quinoa and all the other ingredients.  Easy to handle, especially with the ice cream scoop.  can make them any size but the are really good finger food ,  this size.
