These are fast to make, and are a healthier upgrade to the version "from the box". It is also handy to start having cooked quinoa ready to cook with in the fridge. You will likely find some use for it as it is very versatile.
Ingredients:
1 box Manischewitz Matzo Ball Mix
2 eggs
1 cup cook quinoa (I used the red quinoa, but the white one would camouflage and you could trick your guests)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 1/2 quarts cold water
(sorry about the quarts I followed the box exactly)
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl blend 2 eggs and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
2. Add 1/2 of a packet of the mix (there are 2 packets in the box) and about 1/2 cup of the quinoa. Stir with fork until evenly mixed. I added a little more quinoa and flour to improve the consistency. You might have to improvise here. Remember that the mix will be going in the fridge and the mix will firm up.
3. Place bowl in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
4. Bring a large pot of slightly salted water to a boil.
5. Wet hands and form batter into balls about the size of golf balls.
6. Drop into boiling water; cover tightly; reduce heat and simmer for 20 minute.
7. Remove the matzo balls and enjoy with soup or a drizzle of fine olive oil.
