These delicious quinoa and red pepper balls are one of the few dishes made with this pseudocereal that never seem to fill you up, they are so good (which is quite a feat, given how filling quinoa is).

That is why, in the blink of an eye, we will have given our body such valuable nutrients as complete protein (it contains all the essential amino acids), low-glycaemic-index carbohydrates (which keep you feeling full for a long time), omega-3, vitamin A, B-group vitamins (such as B1, B2, B3, B6 and B9 or folic acid), vitamin C, vitamin E, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, lycopene (detoxifying), beta-carotene (a powerful antioxidant), tryptophan (to combat the symptoms of depression), fibre and apiol (which stimulates diuresis).

Notes

The flour to batter can be quinoa or the one you have at home (it is preferable that you avoid flour refined for health).

It is preferable to avoid Kikkoman sauce, since it tests on animals.

Tap on the steps to mark them as done

Step 1
In a colander, wash the quinoa well until the water comes out clean, we strain it, put it in a pot with twice as much water as its volume and cook it for about 15 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, chop the onion, pepper, garlic and parsley into small pieces.
Step 3
In a large pan, put to heat the oil and pochamos the vegetables. When the vegetables are poached and the quinoa is cooked, drain the last one, put it in the pan and take a few turns.

Step 4
Add the soy sauce and salt and stir again to mix well.
Step 5
We put everything in a blender glass together with the bread crumbs so that it thickens and we beat a little (3 beats). We put it in a bowl and put it in the fridge for an hour to cool.
Step 6
In a dish, we throw the flour and, when the dough is cold, we make balls with wet hands so that the dough does not stick to us. When we have the balls made, we coat them in the flour and fry them in a pan with enough hot oil. When we see that they have already turned golden on the one hand, we turn them over so they can also be made on the other.
Step 7
When they are golden brown on both sides, we take them out and put them on a plate with absorbent paper. In this way they will release the excess oil and they will be ready to be served.
