Method
Put 1 cup of water in a pot and bring the quinoa to the boil, cooking for 12–15 minutes. Transfer the cooked quinoa to another bowl and let it cool for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, put all the other ingredients in a bowl and mix until combined, then add the quinoa and mix again. Shape into small balls and place on a baking-paper-lined tray.
