Beetroot Relish

    Instructions
     

    • Rinse the quinoa under water for a couple of minutes. Add to a saucepan with 2 cups of water, bring to the boil, reduce heat and cook for 10-12 minutes. Pop in fridge to cool.
    • Place all the ingredients for the beetroot relish in a saucepan on medium heat, cover and cook for 20 minutes.
    • Place the cooked quinoa, zucchini, mint, eggs, flour, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix to combine. 
    • With floured hands, shape the mixture into 4 patties and flatten to 1cm-thick. Heat half the oil in a large  non-stick frying pan over medium heat and cook the patties for 3–4 minutes each side or until golden. Set aside. 
    • Add remaining oil and cook the haloumi for 1–2 minutes each side or until golden. Top the rolls with the relish, spinach, patties, tomato, haloumi and extra mint.
