Ingredients
for the fritters
- 1/2 cup quinoa (weight when uncooked), cooked and drained (see notes)
- 2/3 cup feta cheese
- Parmesan Cheese optional, handful, grated
- 7 ounces peas sweet petit pois are best, cooked, frozen
- 2 spring onions chopped finely (optional)
- lemon zest of 1
- a couple of handfuls about 3 heaped tablespoons each of fresh parsley and mint
- 1 egg lightly whisked
- 2 tablespoons cornflour or rice flour, if you prefer
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup cooking oil of your choice, for frying
to serve
- Greek yogurt optional
- green salad optional
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients (apart from the oil) together in a big bowl. With wet hands, scoop up small handfuls of mixture and shape into 12 to 15 round and flattened fritters.
- Heat up the oil on a medium heat, then fry the fritters (in 2 batches if necessary) for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until nice and golden and crispy.
- Drain on kitchen paper, then serve while still hot and crispy, with the Greek yoghurt and green leaves if you like.
Notes
- I find the easiest way to cook quinoa is to add it to a saucepan with double the volume of water (so 1 cup of water for half a cup of quinoa), bring it to the boil, then cook gently for about 8 minutes. Then turn the heat off, pop a lid on your pan and let it steam dry for a couple of minutes. Finally, fluff up with a fork - your quinoa should be ready!
