Thai Curry Paste

For the Thai curry paste (if making), peel and cut the onion into large chunks, and add to a high speed blender or food processor. Add the garlic cloves, bottom third of the lemongrass, ginger, chillies, and chilli flakes, then blend until smooth. The paste can be stored in the frige for a couple of days, or in the freezer.

Thai patties

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius and add the sweet potatoes. Bake for 40-60 minutes, depending on the size, or until soft and tender. Reduce the heat to 180 degrees celsius.
  2. Meanwhile, slice the spring onions and add to a pan along with the olive oil. Sauté until soft, then add the Thaicurry paste. Fry until fragrant.
  3. In a large bowl, add the cooked sweet potato (not skins), quinoa, spring onions, fresh coriander, and season well with salt and pepper.
  4. Using a potato-masher or fork, combine the ingredients well. It should come together but still have some lumps.
  5. On a lined baking tray, use your hands to seperate the mixture into 8 patties, and flatten down with your palm. Place in the oven to cook for 25-30 minutes.
  6. While the patties are cooking, make the peanut sauce. In a small bowl, combine all the ingrdients and mix well. You may want to add a little more water depending on your desired consistency.
  7. Remove the patties from the oven, and serve with the sauce, fresh coriander, and sliced spring onion
