Things I've learned about myself. I'm a hugger. I'm a skilled parallel parker. I'm a book junkie. I'm terrified of grasshoppers. I'm a music fiend. I'm a super aunt. I'm a realist. I'm an over-smiler. I'm a list-maker. I'm an amateur rapper. And one more? I'm in love with summer.
Sweet Corn Quinoa Cakes
vegan, gluten-free
1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
1 fresh ear corn
1/2 yellow squash, julienned
1/2 zucchini squash, julienned
3 tablespoons hummus
sea salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- Bring one cup quinoa to boil in 2 cups of water. Reduce to simmer and cook about 15 minutes until there is no more water. *I prefer to overcook my quinoa a bit to make these cakes because it will make a more "gummy" consistency lending itself well to be the binding agent in these cakes.
- Stir in seasoning to your slightly overcooked quinoa. Add julienned squash and zucchini, hummus and corn and mix until well incorporated.
- Using a 1/4 measuring cup, scoop mix and form in the palm of your hand. Cook over medium heat in a oiled skillet. I slowly cooked each side for approximately 10 minutes.
- Serve over a salad and enjoy!

Oh my goodness - these look perfect. I love fishcakes and such and these look like a great alternative/variety. Thanks! I seen your post on ELR. Nice blog layout - a simple feel.
This is such a great idea! Quinoa is so in right now - but I've never seen them done like this! Thanks for sharing!
What an interesting idea for using up summer veggies! I would never have thought to put hummus in quinoa, but it sounds delicious! I also love that these are vegan, because I made quinoa cakes once before but found them too eggy.
This is such a good idea! I haven't ever really tried to make quinoa recipes aside from the standard quinoa as a side dish. Must get some squash asap. Thanks for the recipe!
I bought a bag of quinoa at the grocery store & I've had no idea what to do with it. I'll definitely have to give this a try! yum!
