Potato and Quinoa Burger
This vegan quinoa burger recipe with potatoes, herbs and spices is our new favourite dinner. It's quick to make, tastes great and is so easy that the kids can even make their own.
Ingredients
- 100 g quinoa cooked and drained
- 2 medium white potatoes peeled and cooked
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion peeled and chopped
- 30 g flat leaf parsley finely chopped
- 1.5 tablespoons cornflour
- 1.5 tablespoons garam masala or curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Pinch salt and pepper
To serve
- 2 gherkins sliced
- 2 ripe tomatoes sliced
- 4 burger buns

Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (fan)/200°C/gas mark 6. Cook 100g quinoa according to the packet instructions and set aside. Boil your 2 chopped potatoes until soft, drain and set aside.
- Heat up the oil in a large sauté pan and soften the chopped onion. When cooked put into a large bowl.
- Add the cooked quinoa and potato.
- Finely chop 30g flat leaf parsley and add to the dough. Next add 1.5 tablespoons cornflour, 1 teaspoon ground cumin and 1.5 tablespoons garam masala. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mash everything together well until it comes together into a dough.
