INGREDIENTS
SERVES: 2
- 300g cauliflower
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 red onion (90g), diced
- 400g tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed (240g drained weight)
- 1 tsp hot Madras curry powder
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- 150ml fresh vegetable stock
- 250g cooked quinoa (freshly cooked and drained or a pouch)
- 100g frozen peas
- 2 baby cucumbers, thickly sliced
- A large handful of coriander, roughly chopped
- 40g cashew nuts, toasted
- 1 lime, halved, to serve
- Cut the cauliflower into small florets
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. When it is hot, add the onion and chickpeas and cook for about 5 minutes until the onion is starting to brown. If the pan appears to be drying out, add a splash of water.
- Sprinkle in the spices and cook for 1 minute, then pour in the stock and add the cauliflower. Cook until the stock has evaporated completely. Remove from the heat.
- Tip the cooked quinoa into the pan, along with the frozen peas and stir well until the peas have defrosted. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Stir through the sliced cucumbers and half the coriander. Spoon the quinoa couscous into warmed bowls and sprinkle with the remaining coriander and the toasted cashew nuts.
- Serve with the lime halves for squeezing.
