Tilapia and Quinoa with Tomato. -- back to top
This worked out really well. It was a can of tomatoes with broccoli, peppers and a bunch of seasonings including crushed red pepper and other Italian seasonings. We put tilapia in as well but it got kind of broken up. It was still good though. We originally served the quinoa on the side but both Emily and I mixed it in.
It was really low in points and was pretty good. Also, it was easy and filling.

Quinoa Patties and Purple Potatas Bravas -- back to top
We made quinoa from the recipe below. Meredith put it together so she may have more comments, but we basically followed the base of the recipe though we needed a bit more egg. We also used gouda instead of the parmesan. We also used regular flour. Instead of frying it, we baked it like the zucchini fritters. We baked them at 440°F for 15 minutes, then flipped them and baked for another 10. I was prepared to have to really scrape but in the end, they came off nicely. They were really good. I really liked the thin parts that were extra crispy. The flavor was subtle which contrasted with the patatas bravas and its heat. It didn't help that my head/nose was stuffed so the flavors were even harder to discern.
The patatas bravas we more or less based on the standard except I also added some leftover canned sauce. I used a lot of cayenne and all of the called for paprika was hot paprika plus, I added some smoked hot. I also forgot the garlic and vinegar but I added a lot of onion and garlic powder. The sauce was good, but it was rather spicy. Again, being a bit stuffed up, made this strong flavor eclipse the quinoa.

I followed largely the recipe from here. It called for 3 cups of quinoa and, according to a website, quinoa expands 4x. Well, I decided to use a cup of quinoa just in case. I am glad I did since It only made 2.5 cups. Good to know in the future. I made the quinoa with beef broth defeating the vegetarianism, but it can be done without. Also, it took about 18-20 minutes and not the 10-15 it calls for.
Otherwise, I used a bit of extra carrot but just one zucchini. I also added a bunch of seasonings including garlic powder, minced onion (a lot) and 21 seasoning salute. I had to use a bit extra flour (whole wheat) since there wasn't as much quinoa. It was still wet but it worked fine. I didn't have green onion. Also, I used a bit less than a tablespoon of ground thyme. I also used ricotta salata instead of parmesan cheese. I cooked them for about 17 minutes per side on 440 (yes, I cannot use normal values)
I was a bit nervous that it wouldn't be very good since when I tasted the batter it was just okay, but they came out really good! More pronounced flavor than last time and really good
Points Plus for the 11 patties:
Quinoa (1 cup dry)...17
Egg Beater (2 egg worth)...1.3
Whole Wheat Flour...2.7
Greek Yogurt...1.4
Ricotta Salata...7 (just a guess, but a very safe one)
-----------------------------
~29.4 for two servings.
So about 15 for all of dinner isn't too bad!
