Carrot Ginger Quinoa Balls



Delicious no meat balls!!!!!

1 cup quinoa cooked and reserved (easier if you cook it and put it the Fridge or freezer so when you are ready to roll the balls it is failry cold)
2 grated carots
2 grated garlic cloves or diced very very small
Grated ginger about 1 tbsp
1 teaspoon of dry rosemary ( you could use fresh I only had dried spices)
1 teaspoon Oregano
1 tbsp Honey
1/4 to 1/3 of a cup of Chopped spinachs

Prepare all ingredients and mix in a bowl. Add quinoa when temperature has dropped. Do not be shy to taste and adjust seasonning... Ginger and garlic will taste strong when cold but flavors will blend together dont worry! Prepare small balls not bigger than golf size. I did a little smaller pingpong kinda thing ya know!! Pan seared until golden brown and served as is, with salad or grilled vegetables... I personally made a honey mustard sauce with it and it was just delicious!! Enjoy my balls !! Haha
