I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Quinoa just like you would rice, in Simmering Basket, for 16min/Varoma temp/speed 4 (this is where I add the stock in the water)
Remove simmering basket, wash and dry TM bowl
Add zest and garlic to bowl and chop for 15 sec/sp 8, scrape down, repeat
add spring onions and herbs/spices and process 5 sec on speed 7
add feta and spices, process 5 sec speed 5
add eggs, flour (I used spelt) or breadcrumbs and quinoa and mix for 10 sec/reverse/speed 4. Scrape down with spatula and repeat.
Heat up your choice of butter and/or oil in a large frying pan and fry large spoonfuls of fritters on both sides until golden brown.
Bill Granger's recipe suggests to enjoy these with what he calls a 'Green Goddess sauce' which is a dipping sauce of half mayo/natural yoghurt mixed with chopped parsley, mint, chives, spring onion and juice of a lime.
Tip
A very versatile dish which you could enjoy either as a main course with steamed veggies and a salad, or as an appetizer, also great as party food!

omg had these tonight with toasted turkish bread - left out the last egg yolk - they held together really well - had the same consistency as meat- will be making these often
This is a delicous vegetarian option, I made these for my family last night with a chickpea salad and it was so yummy. I will try again to make them for veg burgers next. I forgot to add salt, and you do need a fair bit to bring out the flavour.
Very easy and very yummy. I pretty much ate them as soon as the came out of the pan. Didn't bother to use the egg yoke (last ingredient) just used the two eggs and I don't think it made a difference. Will make more today and freeze.
Easy and yummy recipe .
Awesome. So yum, I'm so full!
Oh yummmmmm! Have just made these o go with lamb chops. Delicious. Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely love these!!
Perfect for schoo/workl lunches next day!
My husband and I loved these fritters unfortunately the same can't be said about my 4yr old!! I will be making these again, thanks for sharing
Very nice and tasty as well as being healthy. They hold together well. I ate with some natural yoghurt, salad and lemon juice! Got plenty left to feast on over the week. Do you think they would freeze well?
