Preparation
Step 1
For the minty green sauce place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. To save half of the sauce for lunch the next day (if you’re doing our meal plan), store covered or in an airtight container in the fridge.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the milled flax seeds with 6 tablespoons of water. Set aside to absorb until thickened, 10 minutes. This acts as a binder in the fritters.
Step 3
Meanwhile, heat the 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Place the cooked quinoa in a large bowl. Add the nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, gram flour, salt, several grinds of pepper, the cooked onion mixture, and soaked flax seeds. Mix well until combined.
Step 5
Divide the mixture into 6 equal-sized portions, shape into patties, and arrange on a parchment paper-lined baking tray.
Step 6
Place about 100g of gram flour into a shallow bowl. Dip each patty into the gram flour, and flip to evenly coat on both sides, with no clumps of flour remaining.
Step 7
Wipe pan clean and heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the fritters, until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes per side.
Step 8
Spread some minty green sauce on the bottom of a shallow bowl, arrange three fritters on top and sprinkle with the shredded spinach and some chives. To save half of the fritters for lunch the next day (if you’re doing our meal plan), cool the fritters completely and store, covered, or in an airtight container in the fridge.
