Spiced Quinoa Patties are flavourful and healthy, combining cooked quinoa with cannellini beans, fresh spinach, and parsley, seasoned with cumin, fennel, and garlic. The patties are pan-fried until golden, and slightly crispy on the outside while staying tender inside. Perfect served with hummus and salsa, these patties are a great vegetarian option for lunch or dinner, offering a delightful balance of protein, fibre, and vibrant flavours. Easy to make and versatile, they can be enjoyed on their own or as part of a larger meal.

Directions

Heat the coconut oil or butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Sauté the onions for a few minutes, until soft, and then add the garlic and the dried herbs and spices. Cook for a minute or until aromatic then tip in the cannellini beans. Toss them well in the oil and spices until coated and then turn off the heat.
Mash the beans roughly with a potato masher and then add the quinoa, egg, parsley and spinach. Season well and give everything a good mix using your hands to really combine.
Form the mixture into small rounds and press down so that the patties are about an inch thick.
Fry the patties a few minutes each side using a little more coconut oil (or butter and water) until golden and heated through.
Be careful turning them as they can be a little fragile.
Serve with sides of homemade Hummus and Sexy Salsa
