- In cast iron pan on WIH400 Induction Range, sweat minced garlic and shallot. Add kale and continue to cook until soft. Allow time to cool.
- In WFP16SCD Food Processor with batch bowl, finely process kale mixture.
- To batch bowl, add avocado, lime juice and zest, spices, egg whites, baking powder, flour, and gochujang, and let run until well incorporated. Rest 30 minutes and keep cold.
- Fold in 1 1/2 cups cooled quinoa. Taste and adjust seasoning. Scoop out one fritter and roll in cornmeal, then fry to test. Add more flour to bind if needed.
- Scoop and roll fritters in cornmeal, then fry in WDF1000 Deep Fryer and season.
