Directions

Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, about 15 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery, saute for 1 minute. Add zucchini, yellow bell pepper, and red bell pepper, saute until tender, 5 to 7 minutes more. Set aside to cool, about 10 minutes.
Mix quinoa, zucchini-pepper mixture, and garlic together in a bowl. Stir in flour, stir in egg. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Mix in mozzarella cheese. Form into about 6 equal-size patties, place on a plate.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry patties until heated through and browned, 5 minutes per side.
