Zucchini and Carrot Fritters with Quinoa

1.  Combine quinoa and water in small saucepan.  Bring to a boil.  Cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes until water is absorbed.  Let cool.
2. Shred zucchini in a small bowl.  Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes.  Squeeze out any remaining liquid.
3. Add shredded carrots, onion and eggs.  Mix well.  Stir in in quinoa, flour, baking powder, oregano and season with salt and pepper.
4. Heat oil over medium heat in a medium sauté pan.  Scoop 1 tablespoon of mixture and place in heated pan then press down slightly to form a patty.  Cooke for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Do so in batches until all the mixture is used.
5. Serve alone or with a mango chutney or tzatziki sauce
