Fried Green Quinoa Balls Ingredients: 1/2 cup of uncooked organic sprouted quinoa, rinsed 1 sweet potato, cubed 4 green onions sliced 1 handful of baby spinach, kale, boc choy or swiss chard finely chopped 1/4 cup of chopped oregano 1/4 cup chopped basil 2 pinches of red pepper flakes Coconut Oil 1 tsp (optional) black pepper salt Avocado Dip: 1 avocado, mashed 1/4 cup coconut milk 1 tbsp. chopped oregano 1/4 tsp. onion powder 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes Salt to taste Directions: In a small bowl, prepare avocado dip combining all ingredients. Set aside. Add your quinoa to a saucepan. Cover with 1 cup of boiling hot water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer on low covered. As soon as water is absorbed, turn off heat, but leave covered. The steam will continue to cook the quinoa, resulting in lovely fluffy quinoa grains. At the same time steam one whole, peeled and cubed sweet potato. Dont overcook or it will turn to mush in the recipe. Let cool. Add the sweet potatoes to the quinoa along with the spinach, green onion, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Using a wooden spoon thoroughly combine ingredients. If you find that it is not binding well add 1 tsp of coconut oil. Roll into equal size balls. If you make them too large they will fall apart during the cooking process. Put coconut oil in a deep frying pan and heat up on medium heat. Once its good and hot place quinoa balls in pan. Let them get golden brown before flipping. If you try and flip early they could fall apart. You are going to love this dish! Read more: healthy-holistic-living/fried-quinoa.html#ixzz2rA97IS1D
