Broccoli cheddar jalapeno & quinoa fritters
Hot sauces
These fritters are a healthier riff on the typical deep fried jalapeno poppers that have become a staple item on American bar menus. They're quickly and lightly pan fried and served with fresh lime wedges. It's sort of like making pancakes. They cook that fast. <br /> <br />There's a bit of cheddar cheese in them providing a mellow creaminess against the heat of the jalapeno. Quinoa adds protein. Broccoli complements the cheddar in a good way. Think broccoli cheddar soup and you'll get the idea. <br /> <br />You have two choices for the flour you use in this recipe. For a gluten-free version, Pamela's Gluten Free Baking Mix is my go-to choice. I love this stuff! It gives them a wonderful light and airy texture, which is welcome in a fritter. Self rising flour will work too. <br /> <br />I think kids will like them if you leave out the jalapeno and serve them with a little ketchup. It's a good way to get them to eat broccoli and quinoa. They're loaded with protein, vitamins, minerals, fiber and calcium. They've been featured on Buzz Feed Food & Honest Cooking.
