Recipe type: Dinners, Vegetarian
Serves: 6
What you'll need
  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 1 can of chickpeas, pureed
  • ¾ cup grated cheese
  • 1 finely grated zucchini or carrot
  • ½ red onion finely diced
  • ¼-1/3 cup plain flour
  • handful each of fresh herbs (I used flat leaf parsley and coriander) OR tsp dried herbs
  • 1Tbsp vegetable stock powder/concentrate
  • salt and pepper to season
Instructions
  1. Boil 2 cups water and a dash of salt. Once boiling add in your quinoa and bring to the boil, simmer for 20 minutes until cooked and the water is absorbed.
  2. Place into a large bowl.
  3. If you have a thermomix or food processor then finely chop your onion and zucchini and add in the rest of the ingredients (except for the flour) and process for up to a minute.
  4. Add this mixture to your cooked quinoa and plain flour and mix well. Add in extra flour or seasoning if needed.
  5. You want your mixture to be sticky though (too sticky to handle) so if you don't need the flour then don't add it. I dropped large Tablespoonfuls into a frypan of hot oil, flatten with a fork once in the pan then shallow fry with some oil ( a couple of Tablespoonfuls of oil is good)
