Bolinho De Bacalhau Vegetariano Vegetarian Cod Fritters

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked chickpeas with a fork until they form a coarse paste.

2. In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed meal and water. Let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens to create a flax egg.

3. Add the cooked quinoa, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, green onions, panko breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the mashed chickpeas. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

4. Add the flax egg to the mixture and stir until everything is evenly incorporated. The mixture should hold together when shaped into small patties.

5. Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

6. While the oil is heating, take small portions of the mixture and shape them into small, round fritters.

7. Carefully place the fritters in the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

8. Once the fritters are cooked through and crispy on the outside, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

9. Serve the Bolinho De Bacalhau Vegetariano - Vegetarian Cod Fritters warm with a squeeze of lemon juice or your favorite dipping sauce.
