Ingredients

  • 500g Chicken Mince
  • 2 Cups (320g) Cooked Quinoa, Cooled
  • 2 Cups (100g) Trimmed And Finely Shredded Kale Leaves
  • 200g Firm Feta, Crumbled
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 Teaspoons Finely Grated Lemon Rind

  • Sea Salt And Cracked Black Pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Store-Bought Tzatziki To Serve

Method

  1. Place the chicken, quinoa, kale, feta, eggs, lemon rind, mint and parsley in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and mix well to combine.
  2. Shape ⅓-cup portions of the mixture into balls and flatten gently to make patties.
  3. Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook the patties in batches for 4 minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through, adding more oil to the pan if necessary.
  4. Divide the fritters between serving plates and serve with tzatziki and watercress.
