3. Chop the coriander and mint.

1. Boil a medium size pot of water. Place the quinoa in a sieve and rinse it under cold running water for 30 seconds. Add the stock pot to the water and stir to dissolve, then add the quinoa, lower the heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the quinoa is tender. Drain, return to the pot and set aside.

3. Once the mixture has cooled down, add the flour with the coriander, cheese and a 1/2 of the yoghurt. Mix everything together and form into 2 patties.
4. In a frying pan, heat ½ a tbsp of olive oil over medium heat and gently place the patties into the pan. Cook each side for about 3 minutes until golden.
5. To make the dressing, in a bowl, mix the remaining yoghurt with the chopped mint.
6. To make the salad, in a serving bowl, add the salad leaves with the tomatoes and drizzle over a little olive oil with a pinch of salt and pepper.
7. Serve the patties on top of the salad with the dressing on top.
