Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper
- Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
- Pull out a large bowl, a small bowl & a sieve
Prep & roast the veg
- Cut the carrot into 2cm thick batons (peel optional). Peel and cut the onion into 8 wedges
- Add both to the lined baking tray, drizzle with 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 15 mins
Cook the quinoa
- Add the quinoa to the saucepan and boil for 13-14 mins, until cooked, then drain. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper
Cream the feta & finish the prep
- Crumble half the feta into the small bowl and mash well with the back of a fork. Add the yoghurt and mix until combined. Add a splash of water if it's too thick. Season to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper
- Pick the mint leaves from the stalks and finely chop. Crumble the remaining feta. Add both to the large bowl, along with three-quarters of the pomegranate seeds, 1 tsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
Final steps
- After 15 mins, add the sugarsnap to the veg tray, sprinkle everything with the dukkah and toss to combine, then roast for a further 5 mins, until the veg is soft and golden. Allow to cool slightly
- When ready, add the roast veg and cooked quinoa to the large bowl and toss to combine, then add the salad leaves and mix gently. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed
Plate up
