Recipe type: Entree
Ingredients
  • ½ cup Quinoa
  • 1 cup water
  • ¼-1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
  • 3-4 sundried tomatoes, finely chopped into small pieces (If you tomatoes have salt in them, only use ¼ teaspoon salt)
  • 2 eggs
  • ⅓ cup parmesan or mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley or basil
  • Generous grind fresh black pepper
Instructions
  1. Place the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water. Drain and transfer to a small sauce pan. Turn the flame to medium and stir until all water is absorbed. The idea is to toast the quinoa.
  2. Add your water along with the salt, olive oil, and tomatoes. Cover and bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat about 20 minutes until all water is absorbed.
  3. Transfer quinoa to a medium mixing bowl and let cool completely.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon remaining olive oil, eggs, cheese, oregano, parsley/basil, baking powder and soda, and black pepper. Combine well mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drizzle a light coating of oil, wipe with a paper towel, and transfer quinoa mixture to center of the parchment paper.
  6. Using a spatula, form into a 10 inch rectangle shape.
  7. Cook in a preheated 425 oven for about 20-30 minutes until edges crisp up.
  8. Remove from oven, add your favorite toppings, and return to oven for 10 more minutes.
