Quinoa Cakes with Chimichurri Yoghurt

Feeds 4, takes 40 mins

Utterly moreish, hot or cold, these make a delicious veggie burger and are also brilliant for parties as bite-size canapés with the chimichurri yoghurt as a dip on the side. They are a great way to use up leftover quinoa, but if you want you can make them from scratch. Just remember to cool the quinoa right down, don’t try to cook these with hot quinoa! Serve with a refreshing green or tomato salad.

Small onion or 4 spring onions, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 big handful of fresh coriander, parsley or basil, leaves
