GLAZED & HERBY VEG
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the beetroot pieces on one side of a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the balsamic reduction, and seasoning. Spread the butternut pieces on the other side of the tray. Coat in oil, the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes.
PEARLY 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.
TOAST THE SEEDS
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
CARAMELISED ONIONS
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion until caramelised, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally). At the halfway mark, add a sweetener. Season, remove from the pan, and stir through the cooked quinoa.
HALFWAY
When the roast veg reaches halfway, shift, scatter over the rinsed black beans, and return to the oven for the remaining roasting time.
LEAVES & TAHINI DRESSING
In a salad bowl, toss the shredded green leaves with a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. In a small bowl combine the tahini dressing with 1 tsp of olive oil and seasoning. Loosen with warm water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.
WHAT A TASTE BUD TREAT!
Dish up a heap of caramelised onion quinoa and top with the dressed green leaves. Pile on the colourful roast veg & beans, and sprinkle over the toasted sunflower seeds. To finish off, dollop over the cottage cheese and generously drizzle with the tahini dressing. It’s supper time, Chef!
