Had a long day, Chef? This mouthwatering mealkit is your well deserved reward. Fresh greens are tossed with red quinoa and served as a savoury bed for homemade pickled cucumber. Served with a medley of crispy chickpeas & roasted carroted spiced with NOMU Cajun Rub. A Banhoek chilli oil-infused mayo drizzle over golden falafels make this recipe a very difficult recipe to beat.

  1. KEEN ON Quinoa

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the Quinoa in a pot with 150ml [300ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the tails have popped out, 20-25 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain (if necessary). Set aside to steam, about 5 minutes. Spread the Carrot out on a roasting tray, coat in oil, NOMU rub, and seasoning. Roast until golden and crispy, 10-15 minutes. Scatter over the Chickpeas and roast for a further 10 minutes.

  2. PICKLE & DRIZZLE

    In a small bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, a sweetener (to taste) and the Cucumber. Set aside to pickle. In another bowl, combine the mayo and the chilli oil (to taste). Loose with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season and set aside.

  3. THE CRUNCH FACTOR

    Place the seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  4. FRY THE FALAFELS

    Return the pan to medium heat with enough oil to cover the base. Fry the falafels until golden and crispy, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.

  5. SERVE & SAVOUR
