Wild Rice and Cranberry Fritters (Gluten-Free)

Ingredients

• 1 cup Cooked wild rice
• 1/2 cup Dried cranberries
• 2 Green onions, chopped
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 Eggs, large
• 2 tbsp Tapioca starch
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 1 cup of cooked wild rice, the 1/2 cup of dried cranberries, the 2 chopped green onions, and the 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley. Stir these ingredients together until they are evenly distributed.
2. 2In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 2 large eggs, the 2 tablespoons of tapioca starch, the 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and the 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. 3Pour the whisked egg mixture over the wild rice and cranberry mixture in the large bowl. Use a spoon or spatula to mix everything together thoroughly, ensuring all the dry ingredients are coated with the wet ingredients.
4. 4Place a large skillet on the stove over medium heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet and let it heat up. The oil should shimmer slightly when it is ready, which will take about 1-2 minutes.
5. 5Carefully drop rounded spoonfuls of the fritter mixture into the hot olive oil in the skillet. Aim to make about 6-8 fritters at a time, leaving some space between them. Flatten each spoonful slightly with the back of the spoon to form small, round fritters.
6. 6Cook the fritters for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, until they are golden brown and the edges look set. Carefully flip each fritter using a spatula and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes on the second side, until they are also golden brown and cooked through. You should see them puff up slightly as they cook.
7. 7Remove the cooked fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Repeat this process with any remaining fritter mixture, adding a little more olive oil to the skillet if needed between batches.
8. 8Serve the wild rice and cranberry fritters warm.
