Background
These quinoa and bean cakes with wild garlic are low-carb, low-cal, gluten-free and vegan (if flax-egg is used). They are yummy and filling. Serve them with a salad or in a burger bun with your favourite condiments.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 tin white beans, such as cannellini
- 1 egg or flax-egg
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 handful wild garlic, finely chopped
- 3 Tbsp chickpea flour
- Salt and pepper
- Chickpea flour to coat
Instructions
- Cook about cupful of quinoa following the packetβs instructions, then let it cool.
- When cooled, measure out a small cupful (use the remaining quinoa for other recipes).
- Meanwhile, drain the beans and mash them with a fork. Add the egg and spices, then season with salt and pepper.
- Fold in the quinoa and wild garlic, then add enough chickpea flour to bind the mixture well.
- Make 6-8 patties of the mixture. If you have time, cool the patties in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- Heat some oil in a frying pan. If the patties havenβt rested, coat them in chickpea flour before frying - otherwise they can go straight into the hot oil.
- Fry then on both sides until gold brown.
- Serve the bean cakes lukewarm.
