Vegan MoFo: Black-eyed Peas & Quinoa

BAKE SOMETHING ALREADY!

You wouldn't know there were peas or quinoa in there from the look of the dish below, would you?  But that's actually what makes up the bulk of this dish, along with a delicious mushroom sauce.  

I saw this is Vegan with a Vengeance and knew I had to try the Black-eyed Pea and Quinoa Croquettes with Mushroom Sauce.  It's not what I would call the easiest recipe.  I used dried beans so there is soaking and cooking, then smashing, rolling into balls, rolling in the breadcrumb coating, baking, and then there is the preparation of the mushroom sauce.  

Verdict:  Do I think it was worth the time?  Yes.  I think this is a pretty, flavorful  dish that is worthy of being served at a dinner party.
