skip's famous quinoa fritters

This is a sweet dish that I originally made for a date with a sweet kid. It has since become my signiture dish.

I usually make it with red quinoa, this time I had tri-colour quinoa on hand (normal, red and black). I cook up the quinoa and let it cool a bit.
I mix it up with a bit of flour (usually buckwheat, this time used spelt), some chopped garlic, fake egg mix (olive oil and guar gum or cornstarch), some melty vegan cheeze (daiya mozz here, when in australia use cheezly).

Form patties from the mix and fry them up real quick in some shallow oil.



The first time I made this I served it up with a slice of orange, a pica de galo, and smokey grilled tempeh.

This time I made a berry-wine-balsamic reduction and put that on top, with a dollop of kalamata olive paste, with some blanched brocolli and beets!! totes delicious.
