Beef, Quinoa & Kale Patties
Ingredients
400g lean beef mince
1 egg, beaten
1 small onion, finely diced
1 small carrot, grated
2 C finely chopped kale
1⁄2 C quinoa
1 tsp ground paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1⁄2 tsp chilli flakes (optional)
1⁄2 cup buckwheat flour for binding
Salt and pepper
Directions
Rinse the quinoa under cold running water to remove its bitter flavour. Tip into a pot and add double the amount of salted water. Place over a medium heat and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender.
Put the mince into a bowl and then add the quinoa, egg, carrot, kale, onion, spices, salt and pepper - mix together well. Sprinkle in flour little by little, just enough to bind it all together. Form into patties the size of your palm (makes about 12). Heat a non-stick fry pan, add a small amount of oil if needed and cook until cooked through.
These are a all-in-one meal, great to put in the freezer for a quick dinner, serve with salad or veggies.
