Cook the quinoa and allow to cool
Grate the courgette and squeeze out the water
Fry the chopped onion until softened
Ad the crushed garlic and cook for 1 minute
Add the courgette and peas and stir them until well mixed and gently heat for a few minutes
Mix the flours and water in a bowl until you have a thick paste
Add the veggies to the bowl and mix very well until evenly combined
Add the quinoa and mix again very well
Using your hands form gold ball sized balls by rolling the mixture in the palms fo your hands
Squish down each ball to form a flattened ball to create the fritter shape
Fry each fritter in a little oil for 3 minutes on each side
Add the fritters to a baking tray and once they are all cooked bake them for an additional 10 minutes to re-heat and crisp up.
If you do make this then I hope you love it
