Toasted quinoa is an excellent thing to have kicking about. Scattered over salads, tossed through pasta, or whatever, it adds a great nutty crunch to food. This particular recipe makes more than you need – store the rest in a jar.


serves 2


50g quinoa 2 courgettes, sliced thinly on the diagonal 2 tbsp olive oil


100g halloumi cheese, cut into chunks 2 tbsp vegetable oil Salt and pepper A good handful of rocket A few mint leaves, shredded 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped Juice of half a lemon


1 Boil the quinoa for 12 minutes, until tender. Drain and dry on kitchen paper as thoroughly as you can.


2 Meanwhile, heat a griddle or frying pan over a high heat. Toss the courgettes in 1 tbsp of the olive oil and griddle for a couple of minutes on each side. Remove the courgettes, add a little more olive oil and the halloumi, and cook for a minute on each side.


3 Heat the vegetable oil in a non- stick frying pan or sauté pan over a medium–high heat. Add the quinoa and a pinch of salt. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until golden, crisp and toasty, which should take 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.


4 Toss together the courgettes, halloumi, rocket, mint, chilli and lemon juice, and add a handful of toasted quinoa. Store in Tupperware in the fridge for up to 2 days.
