Quinoa fritters with spring peas, feta and cilantro-chive yogurt sauce
Report
Quinoa fritters are everything that will make you love this powerful seed: crispy on the outside, studded with peas and feta, and served with a creamy, tangy yogurt sauce. You can make them with peas or edamame beans (for an even fresher taster), and serve them small, as appetizers, or big, as veggie burgers. They're delicious any which way.

Ingredients
- 2 c quinoa cooked
- 1 cup peas or shelled edamame beans
- ¼ c feta cheese
- 2 teaspoon salt
- black pepper
- ¼ chives chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 TB gluten-free flour mix
- For yogurt herb sauce:
- ⅛ cup chives fresh
- ⅛ Cup cilantro fresh
- 3 garlic cloves
- pinch salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare quinoa: rinse ¾ of a cup of dry quinoa seed under several changes of water. Combine it with 1.5 cups of water in a large pot. Bring to a boil, lower heat and continue simmering for 15 minutes, covered. Turn off heat and let stand for 5 minutes, covered. Fluff with fork; if any water remains in the bottom, cook on low heat a little bit longer until water evaporates.
- To prepare sauce, chop herbs finely in a food processor. Add garlic, yogurt, salt and pepper, and process until combined. Set aside.
- Mix all of the fritter ingredients together. Preheat a pan to medium-high heat. Add 2 TBs grapeseed oil and fry fritters, one side down, for about 3 minutes. Once fritters have a golden-brown side, turn them over, lower heat a little to medium, and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Remove from pan.
- Serve fritters immediately with sauce on the side, or use them as veggie burger patties with your favourite toppings.
