Quinoa Fritters


These are divine!

The ricotta cheese in this recipe may be hard to obtain when you are cruising. It gives the fritters a light and fluffy taste. If you can't get  hold of ricotta, substitute 1 cup of pureed chick peas. Also fresh dill gives the fritters a fresh herb flavour. Dried dill is fine.
