Ingredients

  • 3tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 250g cooked quinoa
  • 100g kale, stems removed and leaves roughly chopped
  • 120g plain flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1tsp toasted cumin seeds
  • 250g halloumi, grated

To serve

  • 150g natural yoghurt
  • 3tbsp rose harissa paste
  • 1 preserved lemon, finely chopped

Method

Heat 1tbsp of the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat.

Add the onion and fry for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for a further 1 minute. Tip the cooked quinoa into a bowl and add the kale, onion, garlic, flour, eggs, cumin seeds and grated halloumi. Season well and mix to combine, then set aside.

Gently heat the remaining olive oil in a frying pan. Using your hands, form the quinoa mixture into 8 round patties. Add to the pan, in 2 batches, and fry for 4-5 minutes on each side until crisp and golden.

Mix the yoghurt and harissa together in a bowl. Sprinkle the chopped lemon over the patties, season generously and serve warm with the harissa yoghurt for dunking and salad leaves.
