Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup Quinoa
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil divided
  • 2 Eggs whisked
  • ½ Sweet Onion diced
  • 3 Garlic cloved, minced
  • Sea Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 2 cups Kale Leaves
  • cup Flaked Quinoa can substitute rolled oats
  • cup Almond Flour

Instructions
 

  • Cook quinoa according to box directions.
  • While the quinoa is simmering, heat half the coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for approximately 5 minutes until it begins to caramelize and brown slightly.
  • Add kale to pan and stir for 1-2 minutes until just wilted. Immediately remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Stir quinoa, kale/onion mixture, garlic, salt and pepper into the egg mixture, and combine.
  • Add the flaked quinoa and almond meal to the egg mixture. Stir well to combining.
  • With clean hands, divide the mixture into four even portions. Shape each portion into a patty and place on a piece of parchment paper or silicone mat.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining coconut oil. Using a spatula carefully transfer the fritters from the parchment paper to the skillet. Fry the fritters for approximately 6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Enjoy!
