Kababs are an all time favourite with everyone. These quinoa beetroot kababs are a healthy treat on weekend nights . Your guests will appreciate these .
You can make these in advance . Roll them in bread crumbs just before pan frying.
Use either boiled or roasted beet root.
I always roast my beet root. It enhances their sweetness. I keep a few roasted ones in the freezer. Makes life easy.
Boil quinoa as per packet instructions. You can always freeze extra .
I have used Berbere spice mix. It's an Ethiopian spice mix. But feel free to use spice mix of your choice.
