Quinoa And Feta Burgers With Tomato Relish

A wonderful healthy burger – this vegetarian option is rich in protein and the addition of quinoa and feta provides plenty of calcium too. Make up a batch of these and keep them in the freezer uncooked ready for a speedy evening meal. The tomato relish is delicious and great served with fish and chicken too.
