Quinoa meatballs and red pepper
* Plus 1 hour of refrigeration
These delicious quinoa meatballs with red pepper are one of the few dishes made with this pseudocereal that never seems to fill with the good that is (which is difficult, given its satiating power).
That is why in the blink of an eye we will have contributed to our body such valuable nutrients as complete proteins (contain all essential amino acids), low glycemic index carbohydrates (which provide satiety for a long time), omega 3 , vitamin A , vitamins of group B (such as B1 , B2 , B3 , B6 and B9 or folic acid ), vitamin C , vitamin E , calcium , iron , magnesium , potassium , zinc , lycopene (detoxifying), beta carotene (with antioxidant power), tryptophan (to combat the symptoms of depression), fiber and apiol (which stimulates diuresis).

- Step 1In 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 2Meanwhile, chop the onion, pepper, garlic and parsley into small pieces.
- Step 3In 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 4Add the soy sauce and salt and stir again to mix well.
- Step 5We 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 6In 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 7When 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.
