Minted quinoa and feta burgers
Makes 4-6 Starters and mains
Ingredients
- 250g quinoa
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2tsp dried oregano small bunch mint, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 120g feta cheese, crumbled
- olive oil, for frying
To serve
- salad leaves
- burger buns
Method
Place the quinoa in a saucepan and cover with boiling water. Simmer for around 20 minutes, or until it is cooked (it will soften and a small tail-like projection will appear on the side). Pour into a sieve and set aside to drain.
In a bowl, mix the quinoa with the eggs, oregano, mint, garlic, feta and season with black pepper. The mixture should stick together when squeezed. Shape into 4-6 patties.
Pour the olive oil into a frying pan and cook the patties for 4 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. Serve with a salad or in burger buns.
