Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 large russet potato -- about 10 oz.
1 cup quinoa -- cooked
1 small onion -- chopped
2 tbsp. sunflower seed oil -- + more for cooking
2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. dried oregano -- crumbled
2 cloves garlic -- minced
1/4 cup parsley or cilantro -- chopped
1 egg
1/3 cup cottage cheese, grated Jack or tofu
salt
1 cup bread crumbs -- fresh or dried
Boil or steam the potato until tender, then mash it with a fork and mix it with the quinoa.
Saute the onion in 2 tbsp. oil in a small skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes, then add the spices and oregano. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft, about 8 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add this to the quinoa-potato mixture along with the parsley, egg, cheese and salt to taste.
Work the mixture together, then divide it into four large or eight smaller portions and shape them into ovals. Press each croquette gently into the breadcrumbs.
Generously film a nonstick skillet with the oil and set over medium heat. When hot, add the croquettes and cook on both sides until nicely browned.
Notes: Serve with salsa or sour cream and some hot sauce.
