Serves 2–3

Ingredients

For the Fritters

  • 2–4 tablespoons ghee or coconut oil
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 3 medium eggs (or mashed potato for a vegan option)
  • 1 medium carrot, grated
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chives, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon coriander, chopped
  • 1/4 cup almond meal
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Garlic Aioli

  • 1/2 cup blanched almonds or cashews (soaked for at least 4 hours)
  • 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4–1/2 cup water (as needed)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine all fritter ingredients. Mix well until fully blended.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee or coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  3. Scoop out a portion of the mixture with a spoon and place in the pan. Gently flatten to form a fritter.
  4. Cook for a few minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  5. Repeat until all the mixture is used. Add more ghee if needed between batches.
  6. To make the aioli, blend all ingredients (except water) in a high-speed blender. Slowly add water while blending until the sauce reaches a creamy consistency.
