WWDH - Broccoli Bacon and Couscous fritters



This week's Wednesday with Donna Hay recipe was chosen by Chaya.  She selected Donna's Broccoli Bacon and Quinoa Fritters, recipe online here.

I mixed this up a bit - I only made a half recipe, and I substituted quinoa for couscous as quinoa gives me the most excruciating gut rot.  I substituted mozzarella for pecorino (yes, nothing in common except they are cheese), because that is what I had.  I did splurge on some Baxter's tomato chutney to serve with my fritters.  I skipped the refrigeration step - I wanted to eat!

I had these for breakfast.  They were OK, a little different from what I'd normally have.  However, fritters are not in general in my wheelhouse, so when the remainder are finished (I have enough for another breakfast) I probably won't make them again.  However, they contain lots of tasty healthy ingredients, so if you are a fritter fan, these could be for you. 

To see what Chaya, Sarah and Margaret thought of this recipe, visit their websites.

I just made mine for lunch and I will post it later in the day. We liked it a lot. I am sorry you don't get along with quinoa or it does't get along with you.

I put the batter in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes and then made the fritters. Next time, I would bake these instead of frying.

Hehe I sometimes skip the refrigeration step too. I know it makes them firmer but sometimes I get hungry! :D

I remember making something like this before with the tomato jam and all and loving them...it was a DH recipe as well. And they were fabulous. I should make them again. Your picture says I should go make them again now.
