Quinoa Fritters by Daniela Fernandez

From Daniela: Here's a yummy and easy recipe for Quinoa Patties - they are an excellent substitute for hamburger patties and if well seasoned can taste even better than hamburgers! Enjoy!

Quinoa Fritters!

1 cup quinoa, rinsed
1 ¼ cup vegetable broth
1/3 cup white whole wheat flour or gluten free flour blend
1/3 cup cheddar cheese or Daiya, shredded
¼ cup finely chopped onion
¼ cup finely chopped green & red pepper
¾ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped parsley or cilantro
3 eggs or egg re placer (either organic non-GMO flax/water – chia/
water – EnergG)
▪ ¼ cup coconut/canola oil

1.Heat a large saucepan to medium heat and spray with olive oil. Add
quinoa and cook for 5 minutes, stirring to prevent burning. Add
1 ¼ cup of vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce to
low and cover. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat
and allow to sit covered for five more minutes. Cool slightly.
2.In a large bowl combine cooled quinoa with flour, cheese, onion,
peppers, salt, pepper and parsley. Lightly beat eggs in a small
bowl and add to quinoa mixture. If mixture is too runny, add
small increments of flour until mix can be rolled into balls/
patties.
3.Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Form quinoa into balls or
ovals and carefully add to hot oil. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side,
or until a golden crust has formed. Drain on paper towels.

Preparation time: 25 minute(s)

Cooking time: 35 minute(s)

Number of servings (yield): approx. 8, depending on the size of
the patties.
