Ingredients
  

  • 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

Instructions
 

  • 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.
