Quinoa Ginger Pancakes

Step 1

Rinse the quinoa in cold water and drain; place quinoa in a tall medium size pot filled with water (water amount double that of quinoa).  Let cook for 12-15 minutes or until the water has absorbed.  Now transfer in a large glass bowl and let the quinoa cool a bit.

Step 2

Add to the quinoa the zucchini, carrot, ginger, lemon zest, egg (slightly beaten), parmesan, chives, salt & pepper.  Mix well so that all the ingredients blend together.  Wet a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil, and bring to medium heat.  With a ladle scoop a small amount of mix and pour it in the skillet.  Cook on medium heat on both sides until the pancakes become golden.   Serve warm.
