     1 lg Egg; lightly beaten


     1 lg Egg yolk


   3/4 c  Vegetable oil


          Lemon wedges; for serving






 Rinse the quinoa in a strainer under cold running water and drain well.


 Heat a heavy saucepan over high heat and toast the quinoa for about 5


 minutes, stirring constantly with a spatula and scraping the bottom of the


 pan so that the grains do not scorch. Transfer the quinoa to a large


 saucepan and add the water. Over mediumhigh heat, bring the water to a


 boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 10 minutes, or


 until all the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and allow to


 cool. In a large bowl, combine the quinoa, flour, Parmesan, salt, and


 pepper. Mix thoroughly and add the green onions, parsley, egg, and egg


 yolk. Blend together thoroughly until the mixture has the consistency of a


 soft dough. In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Using


 2 soup spoons, shape the mixture into egg shapes and drop them gently into


 the hot oil. Cook, turning over once the croquettes are firm and golden on


 the bottom, until all the croquettes are golden on all sides (about 1


 minute total). Drain briefly on paper towels and serve with lemon wedges.
