Very tasty!! Can be a side, appetizer or main course depending on how big you make each patty. I love these as an easy vegetarian dinner. I measured the quinoa dry, then cooked. I found they took a little longer to cook on each side but I may have been a little shy with my burner heat. Mixed up sour cream with the leftover lemon juice for a wonderful sauce!

I loved these, as did my 15 year old daughter! I could have made a meal out of them instead of using them as a side. Maybe I will the next time hubby isn’t home for dinner because for some reason he didn’t love them….more of a meat & potatoes guy.

These were so good! They didn’t need sauce! We will definitely make these again. The entire family enjoyed them. Would also pair nicely with seafood.

I loved these! So tasty. I served the cakes with a avocado buttermilk dressing. Delish!

Very easy recipe. I am a new cook trying new and easy recipes and finding out exactly what I like that is also healthy. I think next time I would try a little less lemon juice or maybe mix lemon & lime. I think I would also try to add a can of tuna or possibly some chicken? It would be a great sub for rice and it tasted very good!

Loved this! My boys kept asking if there was some kind of meat in them. (They insist they don’t like anything that doesn’t have meat. Ha!) These are easy and delicious. For some reason I only got 5 cakes out of this recipe, so I’ll definitely double it in the future!

These were wonderful. I did make the following 2 changes. I measured the quinoa uncooked and then used the full amount once it was cooked (1 1/3c of cooked just didn’t seem like it would be enough). I added an extra egg to help bind them. Excellent recipe. Thank you.

Yum! We all loved these, great flavor and very filling. Even my kids (ages 21 months to 8 years all ate them without complaining ).
