Quinoa and Turmeric Fritters

 Great friend was enjoying these so much cold on a recent walk I had to try them. Based on Deliciously Ella recipe:

340g sweet potato peeled, chopped into chunks and cooked in microwave until soft

260g quinoa rinsed under cold water until the water runs clear. Put in saucepan with juice of a lemon and 600ml of boiling water. Boil for a couple of minutes and then cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy (all water should have been absorbed. If it gets too dry then add more water)

Blend the sweet potato with juice of a lemon (yes another one), 4tbsp tahini (or a nut butter), 4 tbsp tomato puree, 2 tsp ground turmeric, 2tsp ground cumin, 8 tbsp buckwheat flour and S&P until smooth.

In a bowl combine the sweet potato mix and the Quinoa 'until nice and sticky'

Divide into 12 fritters and bake in a 180(fan) oven for 20 minutes.
