THE ROAST-ESS WITH THE MOSTESS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the drained Chickpeas on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, ½ the rub, season and spread out in a single layer. Roast in the hot oven for 15-20 minutes until crispy and caramel in colour.
Quinoa TIME
Rinse the Quinoa and place in a pot. Submerge in 200ml of salted water and place over a medium-high heat. Pop on a lid and bring to a simmer. Cook for 12-15 minutes until the quinoa is tender and its tails have popped out, adding more water if required during cooking. On completion, drain if necessary and return to the pot. Replace the lid and allow it to stand off the heat for at least 5 minutes.
GLAZED & CONFUSED
Place a pan over a medium heat. Add the balsamic vinegar, 20ml of water, and 15ml of a sweetener of choice. Mix until fully combined. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly reduced and thickened. Remove from the pan and place in a bowl.
DINNER IS AT STEAK!
Return the pan to a high heat. Rub some oil and the remaining rub into the fillet until well coated. When the pan is hot, sear the fillet for about 6-8 minutes in total until browned all over, shifting as it colours. Place on a baking tray and roast in the hot oven for 5-7 minutes or until the fillet is cooked to your preference. Remove from the oven on completion and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Lightly season the slices.
GRAB YOUR COAT
In a bowl, combine the fig halves, Bocconcini halves, roasted chickpeas, ½ the chopped basil, and ½ the balsamic glaze. Toss until fully combined.
LET’S EAT!
Plate up the succulent fillet slices with a hearty helping of the fluffy Quinoa. Top with the glazed Bocconcini mix and drizzle over the remaining balsamic glaze. Sprinkle with the last of the chopped basil. Enjoy!
