Drain and rinse the lentils and then set-aside to drip dry a little. Put the quinoa in a pan and cover well with stock. Bring up to the boil then simmer for 15min or until the quinoa is tender (add more stock as needed). Drain well then run under cold water. Drain.

Put the lentils, garlic, pumpkin seeds, coriander and red onion into a food processor and whiz until you have a thick purée. Scrape mixture into a large bowl.
Step 3
To the lentil mixture add the quinoa, the egg, breadcrumbs and plenty of seasoning. Mix together, then form into 4 equal-sized flattened patties.

Her favourite carb is pasta, and our vibrant green spaghetti is her weeknight go-to. Lover of all things savoury, Senior Cookery Writer Grace Evans can be found eating crispy corn and nocellara olives at every opportunity, and will take the cheeseboard over dessert any time (though she cannot resist a slice of tres leches cake).
