Cheddar Quinoa Bites

• FOR THE QUINOA BITES:
• 1/2 cups Red Quinoa (uncooked)
• 1 cup Water
• 1/2 cups Cheddar Cheese, Grated
• 1 whole Egg
• 2 Tablespoons Parsley, Chopped
• 3 Tablespoons Breadcrumbs
• 2 Tablespoons Whole Wheat Flour
• 1 clove Garlic, Minced
• 1 whole Small Shallot, Minced
• 1/3 cups Corn Kernels
• 1/2 teaspoons Cumin
• 1/2 teaspoons Smoked Paprika
• 1/4 teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes
• 1 pinch Salt And Pepper
• FOR THE DIPPING SAUCE:
• 1/4 cups Plain Greek Yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha

1. For the quinoa bites:
2. Rinse quinoa then combine with water in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil and then cover and simmer until water is absorbed (about 20 minutes). While quinoa cooks, combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat. Add quinoa to the bowl when finished cooking and combine all ingredients with clean hands.
4. Form mixture into golfball-sized balls. (This will be messy but they should come together enough to form balls. If not, add a bit more breadcrumbs.) Place on baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes.
5. If any of the balls have cracked while cooking, reshape them while still hot, then let cool to harden.
6. For the dipping sauce, combine yogurt and Sriracha in small bowl and stir together.
