INGREDIENTS

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 3 cups chopped spinach
• ⅓ cup red lentils (uncooked, rinsed)
• ⅓ cup quinoa (uncooked, rinsed)
• 2 cups water
• ⅓ cup fresh chives, chopped
• 3 tbsp fresh mint leaves
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp salt (add ½ tsp to the lentils, ½ tsp to the mixture)
• 1 cup panko crumbs or chickpea flour
• ¾ cup grapeseed oil (for frying)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Bake the sweet potatoes at 180 C until soft, remove from skin, mash and set aside.
2. In parallel, cook the lentils and quinoa together in a pot of water with half the salt. Bring the water to a boil and then reduce to medium heat and let simmer, covered, for 15-20 minutes until the lentils are soft and you can see the white curls on the quinoa grains.
3. While everything is cooking, chop the spinach, mint and chives.
4. Drain the excess liquid off the quinoa/lentil mix and add and the sweet potato mash together in a bowl and combine well.
5. Add the second half of the salt, the spinach, mint and chives, and the lemon juice. Give it a quick stir and then combine well with your hands until you have a uniform mixture.
6. Pack into patties/balls and roll in the panko/chickpea flour until well coated.
7. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and place in the fridge, uncovered, to set - preferably overnight, but at least for 1 hour.
8. Once chilled, bake in the oven at 180 C for 20 minutes to set the outer crust.
9. Use a spatula to gently scrape under each pattie/ball to ensure it is not stuck to the paper.
10. Heat the oil ¼ cup at a time in a frying pan (I used non-stick. you may have to adjust the amount of oil for stainless steel) on high heat and then reduce to medium heat. Cook the veggie burgers for a few minutes on each side, turning once they have browned and set to a firm crust.
11. When finished, remove from the oil and let dry on a paper towel lined plate before transferring to a clean dish.
12. Serve warm or chilled with your choice of dipping sauces or as is.
