Recipe - Frituras De Quinoa

2/3 cup Raw quinoa
1 1/3 cup Cold water
One fourth cup Allpurpose flour
3 tablespoon Parmesan; Grated
Three fourths teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon White Pepper; Ground
4 Green onions; white and
light Green Parts Only,
Finely Chopped
One half bn Flatleaf parsley; leaves
only, finely chopped
1 lg Egg; lightly beaten
1 lg Egg yolk
Three fourths cup Vegetable oil
Lemon wedges; for serving

Rinse the quinoa in a strainer under cold running water and drain well.
Heat a heavy saucepan over high heat and toast the quinoa for about 5
minutes, stirring constantly with a spatula and scraping the bottom of the
pan so that the grains do not scorch. Transfer the quinoa to a large
saucepan and add the water. Over mediumhigh heat, bring the water to a
boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 10 minutes, or
until all the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and allow to
cool. In a large bowl, combine the quinoa, flour, Parmesan, salt, and
pepper. Mix thoroughly and add the green onions, parsley, egg, and egg
yolk. Blend together thoroughly until the mixture has the consistency of a
soft dough. In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Using
2 soup spoons, shape the mixture into egg shapes and drop them gently into
the hot oil. Cook, turning over once the croquettes are firm and golden on
the bottom, until all the croquettes are golden on all sides (about 1
minute total). Drain briefly on paper towels and serve with lemon wedges.
