GOLDEN GRAINS
Rinse the quinoa & lentil mix. Place the rinsed quinoa & lentil mix and the golden stock in a pot with 200ml of water. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook until the quinoa’s tails have popped out and the red lentils are soft, 12-15 minutes. Add more water during cooking, if required. Drain (if necessary) and return to the pot. Set aside to steam, 5 minutes.
DREAMY CREAMY CORN
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the corn until it starts to brown, 3-4 minutes. Add the grated garlic, the grated ginger, the chopped chilli (to taste), and the spring onion whites, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Mix in the coconut milk and 10ml of water, and stir until combined. Lower the heat and simmer until slightly reduced, 3-5 minutes. Remove from the heat, place in a bowl, season, and cover.
TOASTY ROTIS
Return the pan, wiped down, to medium heat. When hot, toast each roti until warmed through, 30-60 seconds per side. Alternatively, spread them out on a plate in a single layer and heat up in the microwave, 30-60 seconds.
ALMOST THERE...
When the quinoa and lentils are done, add the creamed corn, the lemon zest (to taste), and seasoning to the pot. Mix until fully combined.
TIME TO DINE
Lay down the warm rotis and pile on the creamed corn and grain mix. Top with the crispy onions, the spring onion greens, the chopped coriander, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Get stuck in, Chef!
