CRISP UP THE CAULI

KEEN ON SOME QUINOA?
Rinse the quinoa and place in a pot. Submerge in 200ml of salted water and place over a medium-high heat. Pop on a lid and bring to a simmer. Cook for 12-15 minutes until the quinoa is tender and its tails have popped out, adding more water if required during cooking. Drain if necessary and return to the pot. Replace the lid and stand off the heat for at least 5 minutes.
WHAT’S UP, QUAC?
Halve the avocado and set aside the half containing the pip for another meal. Peel off the skin, keeping the flesh intact. Place the flesh in a bowl along with ½ the lime juice, ½ the diced onion (to taste), ½ the chopped coriander, and seasoning. Use a fork or potato masher to mash into a chunky guacamole. Set aside.
SPICY SALSA
In a bowl, combine the diced tomato, the remaining onion (to taste), the chopped jalapeños (to taste), the remaining lime juice, and seasoning. Set aside.
CHARRED CHIPOTLE CORN
