Quinoa Veggie Burgers

These are the patties I make when I want something filling that isn't a fuss. Everything goes into one bowl, gets mixed, and goes into the oven.

You'll need

• ½ cup basmati rice, cooked (this means ½ cup uncooked rice)
• 1 cup quinoa, cooked (this means 1 cup uncooked quinoa)
• ¾ cup roasted pumpkin, cut into small chunks
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 handful of fresh mixed herbs – I used flat leafed parsley, chives, rosemary and thyme
• 75 grams of goat or sheep feta, crumbled – these are a2 cheeses
• ¼ cup of pepitas
• ¼ cup of sesame seeds
• 200 grams of creamed corn
• 1 tablespoon of chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon of red curry paste
• Juice of one lemon
• 1 handful of baby spinach
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup of spelt flour
• Salt and pepper to season

Method

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Mix everything together, then make into patties – the recipe makes seven good sized ones. Put them in the oven and cook for 15 minutes, turn over and cook for another 5 minutes, and the patties are done. You could also cook them in your air fryer.

Serving ideas

• With salad or veggies
• On their own as a snack
• For lunch in a spelt bread sandwich
