  1. SULTRY BLACK QUINOA

    Rinse the quinoa and place in a pot with the stock. Submerge in 300ml of water and stir through. Place over a medium-high heat and bring to a simmer uncovered. Cook for 20-25 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and the tails have popped out, adding more water if required during cooking. Remove from the heat on completion, drain if necessary, and return to the pot.

  2. GET YOUR GARNISHES READY

    Place a nonstick pan over a medium heat. When hot, toast the hemp hearts for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool. In a bowl, combine the pesto with 1 tsp of olive oil. Loosen with lemon juice to taste and set aside for serving.

  3. CRISPY GOLDEN NUGGETS

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, toast the drained cannellini beans for 7-8 minutes until crispy and golden. For the best results, only shift them occasionally. At the halfway mark, stir through a knob of butter and ½ of the African Rub. Transfer to a bowl on completion, cover with a plate, and set aside to keep warm.

  4. WHILE THE BEANS ARE FRYING…

    Place a second pan over a high heat – you can use a grill pan if you have one. Coat the baby marrow strips in the remaining African Rub and a little oil. When the pan is hot, grill the strips for 3-5 minutes per side until charred. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside for serving. While the baby marrow is frying, return the nonstick pan to a medium heat with another drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the halloumi slabs for 1-2 minutes per side until crispy. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to drain on some paper towel.

  5. LOAD UP THE QUINOA

    When the quinoa is cooked, toss together with the crispy beans, the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and reserved oil, and ¾ of the chopped mint. Add a generous squeeze of lemon juice and some zest to taste. Toss to combine and season to taste. Cut the halloumi into bite-sized chunks.

  6. A VEGGIE PROTEIN BOOST!

    Make a bed of rinsed green leaves and cover with the loaded quinoa. Lay over the chargrilled baby marrow and top with the golden chunks of halloumi. Finish with the toasted hemp hearts, the remaining mint, and the pesto dressing. Get stuck in, Chef!
