Handmade golden tomato and tofu balls using Turban Chopsticks’ blend of chickpea flour and cashews. Served on a bed of braised artichokes, vegetables and quinoa.

Slice onion, chop tomatoes and slice kale. Drain and halve artichokes.
2. Toss vegetables in an oven dish with quinoa, 1 tsp fennel seeds, 2 tsp paprika and crumbled stock cube. Pour in boiling water and 2 tbsp vinegar. Stir to combine. Cover dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes (take out and stir half way), or until quinoa is tender.
3. Crumble tofu into a mixing bowl. Combine with tomato paste and dry kit ingredients until it forms a dough. Use 1 tbsp measure to roll into balls.
4. Heat a frypan over medium heat with 1/4 cup oil. Cook the balls for 5 minutes, turning until crisp and golden brown. Remove to paper towel to drain.
