Golden Quinoa Broccoli Fritters

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the chopped broccoli florets and gently simmer until very soft, around 5-7 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

In another saucepan, cover the quinoa with 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until all the water has been fully absorbed, about 15 minutes.

Finely chop the cooked broccoli until there are no large pieces left. Combine the broccoli with the cooked quinoa, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt, and ground black pepper.

Sprinkle the nutritional yeast and flour over the mixture. Mix until the mixture comes together and can be easily formed into small patties.

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a heavy-bottomed non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

Take a heaping tablespoon of the mixture, roll into a rough ball, then shape into a patty, flattening slightly between your palms.

Gently cook each patty for 5 to 7 minutes on each side until golden on both sides. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

Repeat with the remaining mixture. Serve the fritters warm, with a side of spicy mayo and a dressed baby leaf salad.
