Ingredients

100 g uncooked quinoa cooked and cooled
1 egg or 3 tablespoon aquafaba
1 carrot grated
3 spring onions finely sliced
1 chilli pepper finely diced, optional (I didn't include this when I first posted this recipe but now I always add one)
1 clove garlic crushed
3 tablespoon coriander (cilantro) chopped
50 g nutritional yeast or parmesan works as a great alternative
1½ tablespoon plain flour
Pinch black pepper
Pinch salt

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Cook the quinoa according to the pack instructions and then leave to cool.
Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl. If it's too dry add another egg or if it's too wet, add a little more flour.
Either put tablespoons of the mixture on an oiled baking tray and bake in the oven at 180C for about 20 minutes or heat a little oil in a frying pan and when it's hot, put tablespoons of the mixture into the pan.
Fry on each side for about 3-5 minutes depending on how large they are and how hot your pan is.
Serve with bread, salad and ideally some spicy sauce or dip. Sriracha goes really well.
