Kale Quinoa Patties Recipe 455

Steps:

• Put the quinoa in a saucepan and pour over the hot stock. Simmer for 18-20 mins over a gentle heat until the grains have fluffed up and the liquid has disappeared. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add the kale and simmer for 6-8 mins until cooked through. Drain, squeeze out any excess water and set aside.
• Put 1 tbsp olive oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2-3 mins until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min more. Tip the cooked quinoa into a bowl and add the kale, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg and sundried tomatoes. Season well and mix to combine. Set aside.
• To make the pesto, put the basil, parsley, garlic, pine nuts and Parmesan in a small food processor. Pulse, slowly pouring in the oil, until you have a thick pesto. Squeeze in the lemon juice to loosen, then set aside.
• Gently heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a shallow frying pan. Using your hands, form the quinoa mixture into 8 round patties. Add to the frying pan and fry for 4-5 mins each side until crisp and golden.
• Heat the grill to high and put a slice of goat's cheese on top of each patty. Place under the grill to brown and melt the cheese slightly - this will take a matter of seconds, so keep an eye on them. Top each patty with a generous spoonful of pesto and serve with some fresh green leaves, if you like.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add kale; cook until wilted, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Place quinoa, feta cheese, bread crumbs, lentils, eggs, 1 tablespoon parsley, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix to fully combine. Mix in the kale mixture. Form into patties by hand.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties, covered, until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Transfer the skillet to the oven; broil the patties until top is crispy, 3 to 5 minutes.
