  1. GOLDEN ALMONDS

    Place the chopped almonds in a pot (big enough for the quinoa) over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pot and set aside.

  2. YUMMY MUSHROOMS

    Return the pot to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the mushrooms until golden and crispy, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pot, season, and set aside.

  3. ONE POT WONDER

    Return the pot to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion and the pepper pieces until charred, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the harissa paste and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, the rinsed quinoa, the stock & spice mix, and 150ml of salted water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the quinoa tails have popped out, 12-15 minutes. In the final 2-3 minutes, stir through the rinsed spinach until wilted. Remove from the heat, stir through a squeeze of lemon juice, the lemon zest (to taste), the halved olives, and seasoning until heated through, 2-3 minutes.

  4. TUCK IN!

    Bowl up the Moroccan quinoa. Dress with a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Top with the golden mushrooms and the toasted almonds. Garnish with the chopped parsley. Serve any remaining lemon wedges on the side. Wow, Chef!
