Place the quinoa in a saucepan and cover with the chicken stock. Bring to the boil and cook for about 15 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed. Drain the quinoa and leave to cool. While waiting for the quinoa to cool slightly and chicken to cook, make the dressing. Combine the soy sauce, lime juice, honey and oil and mix well. Season to taste. Place the quinoa into a large bowl and add all ingredients except the chicken and dressing. Mix well. Slice the chicken and top the salad with the chicken and drizzle over the dressing. This salad can be enjoyed warm or cold.

Quinoa, kale and pistachio burgers

(Serves 4)

Ingredients

150g quinoa

45g home-shelled pistachios

1 cauliflower

handful kale, finely chopped

handful fresh parsley, finely chopped

handful fresh coriander, finely chopped

1 egg, beaten

1 tbsp onion seeds

1 tbsp rapeseed oil

2 tbsp gluten free crackers, blitzed to crumbs

2 tbsp gluten free flour

2 tbsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper

 
Method First, cook the quinoa in a saucepan and put in enough water to cover 1cm over the grains. Bring to the boil and then cook for about 12 minutes. Drain the quinoa, rinse under cold water and leave to cool. Make sure to drain well, otherwise the burgers will have too much moisture and won’t hold. Next, in a food processor, blitz the pistachios and cauliflower florets, until they resemble crumbs. Place the quinoa and pistachio and cauliflower crumbs in a large bowl and mix well. Add all remaining ingredients and combine well. Chill the mixture in the fridge, until firm. Once firm, mould the mixture into about 8 round patties. Chill in the fridge until ready to grill. Place the burgers on the lined baking tray and grill on a medium heat, for about 12 mins until golden brown and crisp on both sides. Make sure to turn the burgers a few times throughout the 12 minutes. We served the burgers with spicy sweet potato fries and homemade coleslaw, but these delicious, healthy burgers are perfect with a multitude of sides, so get creative!
