Crispy Quinoa Fritters with Green Tomato Chutney

Step 1

Cook quinoa to package instructions (should be about 2 cups water-1 cup quinoa. Simmer covered for 12-15 minutes). Allow to cool completely.

Step 2

In large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, eggs, parmesan cheese, flour, onion, paprika, salt and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients, but be gentle to not make the quinoa mushy.

Step 3

In large skillet, add oil for frying, about 1/2 inch in depth. Heat the oil to medium/high heat.

Step 4

Use about 3 Tablespoons of quinoa mix and form into a tight ball, then press down to form a patty. Add a little bit of flour around outside of the patty to keep it from sticking to your hands.

Step 5

Finish making all the patties, then fry them in oil, on both sides until crispy brown. This should take about 3-5 minutes on each side.

Step 6

Blot hot fritters on paper towels. Serve quinoa fritters with green tomato chutney.
