Broccoli Cakes 

quinoa (uncooked)

water

broccoli

scallions, diced

salt

pepper

garlic clove, finely minced (or 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic)

almond flour (or usse regular flour

grated cheese (cheddar, jack, mozzarella

Bring quinoa and water to boil in a very small pot, cover, lower heat to low and cook 12-15 minutes or until all the water is gone. Turn off heat, let stand 5 minutes covered.

Steam broccoli

 (at the same time) until just tender and drain well, and pat dry.

Combine

Place broccoli, scallions, quinoa, egg, salt, pepper, garlic, and cheese into a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Pulse in the almond flour, mixing in well. The mixture should easily mound on a spoon and just be slightly wet, but easily forming a patty. If the mixture seems very wet, continue adding almond flour a tablespoon at a time until manageable.  Form 4 large patties. You shouldn&#8217;t need to coat these in flour, but do as you like.

Sear

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully place patties in the skillet, lowering heat to medium-low&#8211; resisting the temptation to move or fiddle with them. As they form the deep golden crust, they will naturally release themselves from the pan, and not stick- making flipping much easier.  (I like to use a thin metal spatula here. Rubber spatula have thicker edges, much harder to get under delicate things.) Flip when golden and releasing, about 5 minutes.  Cook the other side until slightly puffed in the center, lowering heat more if need be.

SERVE

At this point, you could refrigerate if making ahead, and reheat down the road. Or keep in a warm oven until serving. Serve with a side salad or sauteed greens. Top with a flavorful sauce if you like (see options in notes).

Just made these. Used red onion, as I didn’t have scallion. Otherwise followed instructions and they’re really good. I intend to re-heat in my air fryer, as I prefer a crispy outside.

I've made this more than once and my family enjoy's even without a dip/sauce but with plain curd. Thank you for this easy to make deliciousness!
