Quinoa, Cauliflower & Ramson Cakes
In season, ramsons (wild mushroom) give great flavour to these vegetarian cakes. The use of quinoa provides all nine amino acids essential for human nutrition. This type of complete protein is rarely found in plant foods, though common in meats. Quinoa also offers a good dose of fiber and iron.

Ingredients
Quinoa 200 g
Cauliflower Florets 200 g
Ramsons 20 g
Feta Cheese 200 g
Rolled Oats 80 g
Salt 1 g
Black Pepper 1 g
Eggs 240 g (4 units)
Coconut Oil 20 g
Ghee 20 g
Instructions
1. Place 500ml water, 200g quinoa and some salt in a medium size saucepan. Bring to the boil, lower the heat and gently simmer for about 15 minutes, or until you see small tails on the quinoa seeds. Drain any excess water and set aside to cool.
2. Place the cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until it forms a rice-like texture. Tip into a bowl, together with the quinoa, ramsons, feta cheese, oats, eggs and seasoning. Stir until well combined. Place in the fridge to set for 30 minutes.
3. Take the mixture and form into 12 patties with your hands. Heat the ghee and coconut oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Add four patties at a time and fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Flip carefully and fry the other side for 2-3 minutes more.
4. Continue until all the patties are fried. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm or cold.
