Proceedings

Quinoa patties

Place quinoa in an ovenproof dish and cover with water. Bake in a steam oven with 20% steam mode at 200° for 20 minutes.

Clean the broccoli stems removing the darker outer part.  Chop them roughly into 3 cm pieces and place them in a blender along with the chickpeas, cumin powder, baby spinach, grated fresh garlic, almond flour, and buckwheat flour.

Blend until smooth. 

Now form into balls of 20 g each.

Place them on top of a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the middle rack in a preheated oven on fan mode at 190° for 15 minutes. During the cooking time, turn the patties once. 

Avocado sauce

Blend all ingredients (avocado, dill, parsley, extra vergin olive oil, chives, and lime juice) together to obtain a smooth creamy texture. Adjust later salt and pepper if needed. If you want a smoother cream add a few more tablespoons of water.
