By Demi

Ingredients

• 180 g quinoa
• 500 ml vegetable stock
• 2 lemons
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
• 4 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
• 60 g chopped toasted almonds
• freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Place the quinoa and vegetable stock in a pan. Bring to a boil then simmer, covered for 15 minutes until the water has been absorbed. Leave to cool.

Finely grate the zest from the lemons and add to the quinoa. Cut the lemons into quarters. Drizzle with half the oil and place on a hot griddle pan. Cook on each side until charred.

Stir the herbs, oil, and chopped nuts into the quinoa. Using tongs, squeeze the juice from the hot lemons into the quinoa.
