RECIPE INGREDIENTS
2/3 cup quinoa, rinsed, well-drained
1 1/3 cups water
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup grated Cotija cheese
3/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
4 green onions (white and pale green parts only), finely chopped
1/2 bunch Italian parsley leaves, chopped
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
3/4 cup vegetable oil
Lemon wedges
Red Salsa
RECIPE METHOD
Heat heavy large dry saucepan over high heat. Add quinoa and cook, shaking and stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent scorching until quinoa is toasted, about 5 minutes. Add 1 1/3 cups water. Bring to boil. Cover and simmer gently until water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Cool.
Gently mixed cooled quinoa, flour, cheese, salt and pepper in large bowl. Add green onions, parsley, egg and egg yolk. Blend thoroughly with a wooden spoon until mixture has consistency of soft dough.
Heat oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Using two soup spoons, press quinoa batter into egg-shaped ovals and gently slide into hot oil. Fry until bottoms are golden and brown, about 45 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels.
Serve fritters warm with lemon wedges and red salsa.
