Method

Simmer the quinoa in boiling stock for 12 minutes until tender, then drain and cool.

Serve burgers with a green salad, red onion, and avocado.

Transfer burgers to a tray and bake in the oven for 15 minutes until cooked through.

Fry patties in hot ghee for 4 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms.

Soak the quinoa in 500ml salted cold water for at least 8 hours and drain well.

Shape the mixture into 16 equal patties.

Whisk eggs, chickpea flour, herbs, chilli, and garlic together before stirring in onions, halloumi, and quinoa.

Preheat the oven to 190°C.
