Parmesan + Chive Fritters
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked quinoa (certified gluten-free if necessary)
- 2/3 cup shredded parmesan
- 3 tablespoons ground almonds
- 1/4 cup chopped chives
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon herbamare or herb spice blend of choice
- fresh cracked pepper
- 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Place all ingredients, except for the oil, into a large bowl and mix with hands until well combined. Form six 1/4 cup fritters, wetting hangs if necessary.
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Cook the fritters three at a time. Flip after about five minutes. Be careful when flipping as they are a tad fragile. Cook for another five minutes, set aside, then cook the last three fritters.
Sprinkle with extra parmesan and chives if you like.
