This one is PERFECT for Passover, or whenever…. and very easy to make. Inspired by a recipe I saw and quoted below, I’ve simplified and offer it for you here.

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked quinoa (I use the red quinoa, because it looks so good)

1/2 onion, chopped (I popped it in a food processor…)

2 cloves garlic

1 small tin of tomato paste

1 small can of diced tomatoes

salt and pepper to taste

How:

Cook the quinoa and let it cool.

Pre-heat oven to 350.

Lightly sauté the onions and garlic in a bit of olive oil, until translucent.

Put the cooked quinoa in a large bowl, add the onions, garlic and tomato paste. Mix it all together then form into small balls. I got about 16….

Place on a baking sheet, on top of a piece of parchment paper. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat up the diced tomatoes (Did I mention how easy this recipe is? I could have made a sauce from scratch, but I didn’t. The tomatoes I used also contained “Italian seasonings”. Yes. I know. Very lazy. But very good. )

Place cooked quinoa “meat” balls in a casserole dish. Top with cooked chopped tomatoes (leaving out most of the liquid).

Serve and enjoy!
