Fritters

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Squash

    Grate the squash using a box grater or food processor. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the grated squash, hominy, cooked quinoa, all-purpose flour, eggs, aji amarillo paste, cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form Fritters

    Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture and form it into patties. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until hot.

  5. 5

    Cook Fritters

    Carefully add the fritters to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
