Cooking Instructions
- Boil a kettle. Heat a large saucepan filled with salted boiling water on high heat. Add the quinoa and boil for 13-14 mins, until cooked, then drain.
- Meanwhile, drain the jackfruit and finely chop the onion. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan on a medium-high heat. Add the jackfruit and cook for 6-8 mins, until golden brown. Stir regularly, breaking it up as you do so.
- Meanwhile, make the chilli sauce; finely dice half the chilli (remove the seeds for less heat) and finely slice the other half. Mix the diced chilli, rice wine vinegar, tomato ketchup, ginger paste, chilli paste, maple syrup and 2 tbsp tamari together in a small bowl.
- Cut the broccoli into florets and thinly slice the mushrooms. Once the quinoa is cooked, heat 1 tbsp oil in another large frying on a high heat. Add the broccoli and mushrooms, and cook for 3-4 mins, until golden. Add a splash of water, cover with a lid and cook for 2-3 mis, until the broccoli is soft. Add the remaining tamari into the pan, then stir in the quinoa. Season to taste with with sea salt and black pepper.
- Pour the chilli sauce into the jackfruit and cook for 1 min, until thick and sticky. Serve the broccoli-fried quinoa on plates with the chilli jackfruit on the side. Crush the cashews, sprinkle on top and garnish with the sliced chilli.
