Here you can find two ideas for vegetable patties and two more for kefir and mint dip.

The salad of my choice is red sauerkraut.

Quinoa, beets, sweet potatoes and chard can make a delicious plant based meal. Adding some fresh kefir with spices makes for a great combination of flavours.

Vegetable patties recipes

Quinoa and beetroot patties

  • 1 medium sized cooked beet
  • 100 g of quinoa (expanded)
  • 1 egg
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of powdered ginger

Grate the beetroot and place in a bowl, then add quinoa, egg, salt and ginger.

Mix everything well and set aside for 20 min.

Scoop the mixture using a spoon and shape a pattie with your hands.

Heat a large frying pan over high heat and cook patties for 3 min each side.

If you want to bake them in the oven, place the patties on a pan lined with baking paper and bake each side for 15 minutes at 200°C.

Quinoa seeds are rich in protein, dietary fiber, vitamins B and minerals. It’s a rich source of manganese and phosphorus. Beets are rich source of folate and other minerals.

I fried them in a pan – heat a large frying pan over high heat and cook patties for 3 min each side. If you want to bake them in the oven, place the patties on a pan lined with baking paper and bake each side for 15 minutes at 200°C.
