Ingredients
For the fritters:
- ½ red bell pepper finely diced, red capsicum
- 1 red onion finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 cup quinoa cooked
- 250 g halloumi cheese grated
- 2 egg lightly beaten
- 1 cup flat-leaf parsley finely chopped
- ½ cup mint finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon dill finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 4 tablespoon tapioca flour
- ¼ cup almond meal
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
For The dip:
- 100 g sun-dried tomatoes
- 50 g walnuts shelled
- 1 tablespoon molasses Greek grape molasses you can substitute with pomegranate molasses
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 60 ml olive oil extra virgin
Instructions
For the fritters:
- Preheat your oven to 190 deg C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- In a hot pan with a little olive oil, sauté the capsicum, onions and garlic for 3 mins until softened. Set aside and allow to cool completely.
- In a large bowl combine the cooked quinoa, the softened capsicum/onion/garlic, halloumi cheese, eggs, herbs, cumin, tapioca, almond meal and seasoning. Mix well with your hands, cover and place in the fridge for half an hour.
- Using wet hands roll into 24 equal-sized balls. Place on a baking tray and cook for 20 mins, making sure to turn the tray around halfway through.
- Allow to cool for 10 mins before serving with semi-dried tomato dip.
For the dip:
- Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Garnish with extra chopped walnuts and serve immediately with the quinoa keftedes.
Notes
- The technique to get a round ball is a little "tricky". Once you have the mixture in your palm form into a round shape and "cup" with your other hand.
