Quinoa Pizza Rounds

Saturday, 28 December 2013


Another pizza post. Sorry I'm not sorry.


These are like pizza, minus the grease and carbs.


Gluten free too! Quinoa is also higher in protein than other carbs like rice :)


Going for a swim in pizza sauce. Actually I used pasta sauce but what's the difference haha.



I do realised I just spammed you guys with pictures but I can't short list them it's so difficult sigh. 

What you'll need
1/2 cup cooked quinoa 
1/3 cup shredded cheese 
1/4 cup chopped shallots
1 tsp minced garlic
Slightly under 1/4 cup parsley or basil 
1/2 tsp chili flakes
1/2 tsp dried mixed herbs (ensure there's oregano in there) 
1/2 tsp smoked paprika 
50g turkey breast, chopped up
1 egg

Serve with: pasta or pizza sauce

How to 
Preheat oven to 180C
1. Mix everything together except egg. Beat egg and combine with the other ingredients.
2. Divide into 5 greased muffin cups. Bake for about 18min. Cool slightly, remove from tray and serve with sauce!

Ps you can try less cheese and an extra egg white if you want.
