For the Spinach and Quinoa Patties
Ingredients
- 85g raw white quinoa
- 70g fresh spinach, chopped
- 200g chickpeas
- 1/4 tsp Himalayan salt
- A pinch of cayenne pepper
- Either 1/2 clove of fresh garlic or 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 bunch (about 6 individual) spring onions, chopped

Method
1. Place the quinoa in a pot with 150ml water. Place on the hob, on a medium heat and cook until the water has completely evaporated. Take the pot off the heat and put the lid on for 5 minutes – this helps the quinoa to become light and fluffy.
2. Leave the cooked quinoa to cool.
3. Meanwhile, add the spinach and spring onions to a food processor and blitz until it forms a rough paste
4. Add the chickpeas and blitz again
5. Add all the remaining ingredients, except for the quinoa, and blitz again
6. Transfer the mix into a large bowl and mix in the quinoa
7. Place a non-stick frying pan on a medium heat, and add 1tsp rapeseed oil. Spoon 1 tablespoon of mix into the pan at a time and press down to form a cake shape. Fry for 4 minutes before flipping and cooking for another 2 – 3 minutes.
