KEEN ON QUINOA
Place the rinsed quinoa in a pot with 150ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the tails have popped out, 12-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain (if necessary). Set aside to steam, about 5 minutes.
BABY TOMATOES & ONION PETALS
Peel the baby onions and halve lengthways. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the onion petals and the NOMU rub until softening and charred, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally). Season, remove from the pan and set aside.
OLIVE TAPENADE
Drain and slice the olives. Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add ½ the tomato halves and ½ the chopped stonefruit and cook until softened, 2-3 minutes. Mix through ½ the chopped oregano, the sliced olives, a drizzle of olive oil, seasoning, a sweetener (to taste), and the chopped capers until heated and combined, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
LOADED WITH FLAVOUR
Once the baby onions are done, add to the cooked quinoa, along with the remaining fresh tomato and chopped stonefruit. Season and toss to combine.
GOLDEN HALLOUMI
Thread the halloumi blocks into the skewers. Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the halloumi skewers until crispy and golden, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.
