Lebanese/Arabic Quinoa Patties
Wild fresh dill (shomar) is plentiful in Lebanon this time of year. I had no excuse whatsoever not to pick a good handful (it smells like anise when rubbed slightly), and make these hotcakes. It is the traditional way in the rural areas to forage wild dill and make fritters with some added flour.

I just had some quinoa left and thought of making these instead, baked instead of pan-fried. They turned out light and delicious. Served at room temperature with PICKLES and FRESH SALSA, they make a oh-so-healthy lunch course or light dinner.

NOTE: Fresh dill can be replaced with Italian parsley or a combo of fresh herbs.
Ingredients
  • 3 tbsp olive oil or other oil

  • 1 teaspoon garlic mashed, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon sumac or lemon rind
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric or ground coriander
