Broccoli Cheddar Jalapeno & Quinoa Fritters
- 1 generous cup of cooked broccoli, slightly cooled and diced into very small pieces. I usually steam it or boil it until bright green and tender.
- 4-6 scallions, finely diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, minced
- 2 cups cooked and cooled quinoa
- 2 limes, zest one and reserve the zest.
- small handful of chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (optional)
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese or cheese of your choice.
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/3-1/2 cups of Pamela's Gluten Free Baking Mix or self rising flour
- sea salt to taste
- olive oil or neutral tasting oil for pan frying
- lime wedges, sour cream, parsley, cilantro, Greek yogurt or salsa are serving options
- Place the cooked broccoli, cooked quinoa, cheese, chili pepper, scallions, lime zest, parsley, milk, salt and eggs in a large bowl. Add Pamela's Gluten Free Baking Mix or self rising flour to the bowl and stir everything together. Start with 1/3 cup of Pamela's Gluten Free Mix or self rising flour and add more if the mixture seems too wet. Add enough of Pamela's mix or self rising flour to form a batter similar to the texture of pancake batter.
- Heat a large nonstick frying pan on medium high with a tablespoon or so of olive oil. I used my non-stick Scanpan for this recipe. Drop batter by 1/3 cup fulls into the hot pan. Cook until golden brown on each side. Lime wedges, lite sour cream, salsa, cilantro, parsley and Greek yogurt are serving options.rnEnjoy!
