NO PLAIN GRAIN
Rinse the Quinoa. Place a pot over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced onion and fry for 3-4 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Add the quinoa and submerge in 200ml of salted water. Pop on a lid and bring to a simmer. Cook for 12-15 minutes until the quinoa is tender and its tails have popped out, adding more water if required during cooking. On completion, drain if necessary and return to the pot. Replace the lid and allow to stand off the heat for at least 5 minutes.
IT’S FRITTER TIME!
In a bowl, combine the Chicken mince, the ground Almonds, the spring onion whites, the chopped jalapenos (to taste), ½ the grated garlic, and seasoning. Lightly wet your hands, to stop the mixture from sticking to them, and roll into 4-5 balls. Gently flatten each ball to form mini patties. Place in the fridge until frying.
DON’T SIGH, LET’S FRY!
In a small bowl, combine the Yoghurt, the remaining garlic (to taste), ½ the chopped Parsley, seasoning, and a splash of water. Set aside. Place a pan over a medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the fritters for 1-2 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and drain on some paper towel. Toss the diced tomato, seasoning, and the balsamic vinegar through the cooked quinoa.
