Ingredients

  • 200g quinoa
  • 480ml vegetable stock
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 1 large avocado, peeled, stoned and diced
  • 60g wild rocket
  • 1 handful coriander, chopped
  • 1 small bunch chives, chopped
  • 1 pinch salt, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin & sunflower seeds
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • ½ teaspoon Teapigs Matcha Powder
  • 1 small red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 4 drops runny honey
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil

Method

Step 1

Rinse the quinoa. Bring the stock to the boil in a pan and then add the quinoa. Reduce the heat, cover the saucepan and simmer gently for 15 minutes until the quinoa is tender and most of the stock has been absorbed. When the quinoa is cooked, the ‘sprouts’ or ‘tails’ will pop out of the seeds.

Step 2

Remove from the heat & leave to steam in the pan for 6-8 mins before draining excess liquid. Fluff up the quinoa with a fork.

Step 3

Stir in the olive oil, red onion, avocado, rocket, coriander & chives. Season to taste with salt & pepper.

Step 4

Make the dressing: mix together the lemon juice & matcha powder until fully combined. Stir in the chilli and honey then whisk in the oil. Alternatively, shake everything together in a jar.

Step 5

Toss the quinoa salad in the dressing until everything is coated. Sprinkle with the pumpkin and sunflower seeds and serve.
