Method

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and gently fry the onion and garlic until soft. Add the seeds and turn up the heat and cook until just golden.
Meanwhile, microwave the sweet potato for 6-8 mins, until soft through. Allow to cool slightly and scoop out the inside into a food processor bowl, whiz until smooth. Add the beetroot, breadcrumbs, grains and onion mixture; pulse until well combined, but coarse.
Divide into 6 and shape into patties. Coat each patty in quinoa and brush with some of the remaining oil. Cook on a hot barbecue, until golden and crisp and hot all the way through.
