My herb garden is really amazing at the moment, although autumn has just arrived and all summer long almost hardly anything was growing. Not to mention that every attempt with rosemary has failed this season, yet the sage is beautiful. I am so looking forward to the first pumpkin soup served with fragrant fried sage leaves. Autumn is just beautiful and those colors - breathtaking! In these healthy and light quinoa patties I used a lot of fresh herbs. It is really up to you, play with those aromatic leaves as you feel like. I added mint, parsley, tarragon and basil this time as I just could not decide what to pick. Indeed herbs give these patties a nice kick and thanks to the cauliflower it is has a wonderful creamy core. Serve with any kind of salad you fancy. I must mention that this lovely chioggia beet in the salad has grown on my balcony!
