Servings: persons

1 1/2 cups soy flakes
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup spelt flour
1/2 onion diced very finely
2 cloves garlic
1/2 green bell pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon cajun spice
2 tablespoons ground flax seed
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons maple syrup
vegetable oil for frying

1
Dice the onion very small & mince the garlic.
2
Add all the ingredients above (except the vegetable oil) to a medium bowl including the onion and garlic & mix until everything is thoroughly combined.
3
Take a tbsp of the mixture, with your hands press the mix between the palms of your hands molding it into a ball, place on a plate and repeat until all the mixture has gone, don't worry if the mixture is a bit soggy.
4
In a small frying pan, pour the vegetable oil to around 1cm deep. The oil will be ready to fry in when you drop a tiny bit of the mix in and it comes up bubbling. Be very careful when frying and do not leave the oil unattended. Put a few balls in at a time and fry for around 1 minute before turning them over, each batch should only take 2-3 minutes.
5
Put the fried balls on a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb any excess grease.
6
Repeat until all the balls are cooked.
