Ingredients
Fritters
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa
- half a cup finely chopped broccoli
- 2 spring onions chopped
- 1 clove garlic, mashed
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- half a teaspoon mixed spice
- quarter teaspoon salt
- 150 ml almond flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- oil for frying
Salsa
- handful of parsley, roughly chopped
- 1 avocado, stoned and cubed
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- half a red onion thinly sliced
- 1 red chili chopped (optional)
- a good squeeze lemon juice
- salt and black pepper to season
Directions
Cook the quinoa as per the packet instructions (do not add salt). Let it cool down and mix in all the fritter ingredients except the eggs. Mix in the beaten eggs and shape into fritters. (They won’t roll like a meatball so you have to shape them in your hands). Place on a baking tray covered in clingfilm and place in the fridge for at least an hour.
Make the salsa by mixing all the ingredients and check the seasoning.
Heat the oil in a pan and shallow fry the fritters until golden brown on each side. Place on wax paper to drain while you fry the next batch and keep warm.
Spoon some salsa on top of each fritter and eat while still warm.
Makes about 16 fritters
If there are any leftovers, sprinkle each fritter with some grated cheese and heat in the microwave for a minute until warm and the cheese has melted. Top with salsa and eat as a quick snack.
