Spinach Cakes

Oh, man, it's been so long! Must have a kid or something.

Owen loves his greens (for now) so I'm taking full advantage.

1/2 c. uncooked quinoa

1/2 c. Onion, finely chopped

2 cloves Garlic, minced

Olive oil

1 10-oz pkg frozen spinach

1 egg

vegetable oil

salt and pepper

Cook quinoa according to direction in chicken broth or water. Spin your spinach a salad spinner or squeeze out as much water was you can. Saute onions and garlic in olive oil on med hi heat until translucent with a dash of salt (add more if you used water to cook your quinoa and didn't season it); mix in cooked quinoa and spinach. While the mixture cools for a moment, heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a big fry pan. Stir in one egg to the mixture and form patties.

Fry in oil until firm, about 3 minutes per side. Let drain on towels before serving.

Next time, I might add some feta cheese. Yum!
