1. Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the spices, then fry for a min or so until fragrant. Add the quinoa, then fry for a further min until you can hear gentle popping sounds. Stir in 600ml boiling water, then gently simmer for 10-15 mins until the water has evaporated and the quinoa grains have a white 'halo' around them. Allow to cool slightly, then stir through the other ingredients. Serve warm or cold.

Quinoa

Quinoa (pronounced keen-wa), a small South American grain with a delicate, nutty flavour, looks a little like couscous.

  Will soon try this as I've never tasted quinoa and I love the subtle creamy flavour of feta!

  Had this for lunch today I cooked the quinoa then let it cool completely before adding the rest of the ingredients, I also added celery and very finely diced onion - lovely and filling. next time I would probably add the onions when frying the spices as they were a bit harsh and overpowered things but nice all the same.
