RECIPE INGREDIENTS

2/3 cup quinoa

1 1/3 cups water

1/4 cup all purpose flour

1/4 cup grated cotija cheese

3/4 teaspoon salt

4 scallions, white and light green parts, finely chopped

1/2 bunch Italian parsley leaves, chopped

1 egg

1 egg yolk

3/4 cup vegetable oil

lemon wedges for garnish

Red salsa for serving

DIRECTIONS

Wash the quinoa and drain well. Place a small dry saucepan over high heat. Add the quinoa and toast, shaking and stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent scorching, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large saucepan and add the water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, until the water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

In a large bowl, combine the quinoa, flour, cheese, salt and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Add the scallions, parsley, egg and egg yolk. Blend thoroughly with a mixing spoon until the mixture has the consistency of a soft dough.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Using two soup spoons, press the batter into egg-shaped ovals and gently slide into the hot oil. Fry until the bottoms are golden and brown, less than a minute. Turn and fry the second side until golden, less than 1 minute. Drain on paper towels and serve warm with lemon wedges and red salsa.
