Meanwhile, cook the sweet potato in a pan of boiling water for 15 minutes until tender. Drain and mash in a bowl until smooth. Set aside to cool. Cook the quinoa to pack instructions and drain.

Heat the oil in a nonstick frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl. Add the cooked quinoa and mashed sweet potato, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and mix well. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape each into an 8cm patty.
