Method

1.Preheat oven to hot, 200°C. Oil and line two large oven trays with baking paper.
2.Cut kumara into 12 x 1.5cm-thick rounds, discarding the ends. Place slices in a single layer on oven trays and spray with oil. Roast for 20 minutes or until tender. Cover to keep warm.
3.For the green tahini: Blend or process all ingredients until smooth. Season to taste.
4.Combine quinoa and milk in a small bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes.
5.Combine courgette, carrot, onion, mince, parsley and quinoa mixture in a bowl. Season. Using damp hands, shape mixture into 6 x 8cm patties. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
6.In a large frying pan, heat oil on medium. Cook patties for 4 minutes each side until cooked and golden.
7.Place patties on six kumara rounds and top with tomato, green tahini, watercress, extra onion and remaining kumara rounds. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
  • Buy the fattest kumara you can find, about 10cm in diameter, as it will become the burger “bun”.
