Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 1/2 onion minced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 ½  tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • ¼ tsp coriander powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 3 tbsp panko or breadcrumbs
  • 3 cups cooked quinoa
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  • In a small frying pan, heat the olive oil and sauté half the onion and garlic. Place them in a big bowl.
  • Add remaining onion and garlic and all other ingredients, and mix well.
  • Grease your hands and shape the meatballs. We used a tablespoon to measure the amount of the mixture we would use. Set them aside on a lightly greased plate.
  • Preheat a large skillet with one tbsp of vegetable oil and place 1/3 of the meatballs to fry. Turn them carefully and remove them when golden brown. Repeat with remaining meatballs.
