QUINOA AND CHARD CAKES
I'd been thinking about making a sort of "burger" with quinoa and vegetables when I saw a recipe for chard cakes in the Dining section of The Times. I combined the two ideas and came up with these quinoa and chard cakes, which you can serve as a main dish or a side. A few days later, I made the same recipe but used spinach, which is lower in sodium, instead of chard (see variation below). Top these cakes with yogurt spiked with puréed garlic.

Steps:
- Fill a bowl with ice water. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt generously and add the chard leaves. Blanch for two to three minutes until tender, then transfer to the ice water. Drain, squeeze out excess water and chop medium-fine. Add the chard stems to the water, and cook four to five minutes until tender. Transfer to the ice water, then drain and cut in 1/4-inch dice. Measure out 3/4 cup of the stems, and reserve the rest for another purpose. Alternatively, steam the chard leaves, then the stems, above an inch of boiling water until tender. The leaves will take three to four minutes, the stems five minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a medium or large skillet. Add the garlic. When it is fragrant, in 30 seconds to a minute, stir in the chard leaves and stems and the cumin. Stir together for about a minute, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large bowl, and add the quinoa, Parmesan and egg. Stir together.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the canola oil together over medium-high heat in a large, heavy skillet. Moisten your hands, and shape the quinoa and chard mixture into four hamburger-size patties (or make smaller, fritter-ish patties). Carefully place the patties in the hot oil, taking care not to crowd them in the pan. Press down on the tops of the patties with the bottom of your spatula to prevent them from falling apart; if they are thick enough, they should stay together. Cook for four to five minutes on each side until nicely browned. Remove from the heat and serve.

QUINOA WITH CHARD AND CHICKPEAS
This is based on a recipe from "Wild About Greens" by Nava Atlas with some changes so it better fits our Nutritarian eating style. Quinoa is a new grain for me. I enjoy it more each time I make it. The quinoa and chard complement each other well. You can reduce prep time by using pre-chopped or frozen vegetables.

Steps:
- Chop chard and set aside. I like to cut it into crosswise strips, then cut the strips into 2 inch pieces.
- Chop garlic, onion and mushrooms, then add chickpeas and set aside.
- Combine quinoa and broth in medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer gently for 15 minute.
- Coat large covered non-stick frying pan or Dutch oven (at least 5 quarts) with oil. Add chickpeas, garlic, onion and mushrooms. Saute until soft, adding small amounts of water as needed to prevent sticking.
- Mix in cumin and seasoning mix.
- Add as much chard as will fit. Cover and allow greens to wilt down briefly, mixing so chard wilts evenly. Add water as needed to prevent burning. Continue to add the chard until all of it is in the pan and cook until chard is tender, mixing well.
- Mix in the cooked quinoa and cook another 2 or 3 minutes more and serve.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together quinoa, flour, baking powder, and salt. In another medium bowl, whisk together egg, egg white, butter, milk, and syrup until smooth. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and whisk to combine.
- Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet or griddle with butter and heat over medium-high. Drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls into skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on top, 2 minutes. Flip cakes and cook until golden brown on underside, 2 minutes. Wipe skillet clean and repeat with more melted butter and remaining batter (reduce heat to medium, if overbrowning). Serve with maple syrup and fresh fruit or preserves, if desired.

- To cook the quinoa: first, rinse the quinoa in a fine metal sieve to reduce bitterness. Bring 1 1/4 cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan or pot with a tight-fitting lid. Add the quinoa, then lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and gently simmer for about 12 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork, remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, sauté the chard. Heat the garlic and oil in a large wok or saucepan over medium heat until the garlic begins to crackle. Add the chard leaves only, reserving the stems, and sauté until dark green and soft, seasoning as desired with salt and pepper. Remove the leaves and sauté the stems with a bit of water over medium heat until soft. Set aside and let cool.
- Once all ingredients are cool, place the cooked quinoa, cooked chard, Parmesan, and cumin in a large bowl and mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then add eggs and mix again until well-combined. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Form handfuls of the quinoa mixture into patties. Heat a few teaspoons of oil in a cast-iron, seasoned steel, or other nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add a few patties, leaving room for flipping, and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Reduce heat as necessary to keep from burning. Repeat until all the patties are done.
