I made the most DELICIOUS baked Qunioa Fritters. They ended up being less than 100 Calories for a decent sized fritter. (I ate 4 for a very filling dinner)
I modified this recipe:
http://whatscookingmexico.com/2008/07/11/tuna-and-quinoa-cakes/
1/2 C. Quinoa
1 C. chicken or veggie broth of your choice (I used 1tsp Better Than Bouillon)
1 can tuna (drained and rinsed)
1 egg
1 clove garlic - diced
1/2 a small onion - diced
1 C. Spinach - chopped
1/2 Red pepper - diced
2 tbl flax meal (optional)
2-4 tbl all purpose flour
1) Add quinoa, onions, & garlic to your broth and bring to a boil until most of the liquid has absorbed or evaporated.
2) As your mixture cools (I was in a hurry, so I put it in the freezer for 5 minutes) prepare the rest of your ingredients. Dice the red pepper, and spinach, and drain and rinse your tuna. Preheat your oven to 375.
2) Combine cooked quinoa, veggies, and tuna in a large bowl with an egg. Add flax meal and flour as necessary to make your mixture into a consistency that is managable. You don't want it too dry.
3. Mold mixture into small patties, and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes.
ENJOY!
