• 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts finely
• 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
• 4 ounces goat cheese

1. Combine quinoa and 3 cups water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil on high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer, covered, 15 mins, or until grains are tender. Let stand 5 mins. Fluff with a fork and transfer to a large bowl.
2. Combine nuts in a shallow bowl. Roll heaping teaspoonfuls of cheese into flattened patties. Coat in nuts. Refrigerate until firm.
3. For the dressing, whisk all ingredients in a small bowl. Season to taste.
4. Add arugula, beans, tomatoes, cucumber and currants to quinoa; toss to combine.
5. Heat oil in a medium skillet on medium heat. Coat goat cheese patties a few seconds each side, until golden. Drain on paper towels. Add to salad. Top with sprouts, mint and a drizzle of dressing.
