Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Preheat the oven to 230C / fan 210C / gas mark 8. Cut the sweet potato into 2cm chunks and place on one side of a lined baking tray. Thinly slice the peppers and halve the tomatoes. Place on the other side of the tray, drizzle over 1 tbsp oil and season with sea salt and black pepper. Roast for 20-25 mins, turning halfway, until soft and golden. Add the falafels to the tray for the final 5-7 mins to heat through.
  2. Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the quinoa and boil for 13-14 mins until cooked, then drain. Rinse and roughly chop the spinach. Finely chop or grate half the ginger. Finely dice the chilli (remove the seeds for less heat). Zest 1 lime.
  3. Make the dressing; in a small bowl, mix the yoghurt, turmeric, ginger (to taste), lime zest, juice from 1 lime and half the chilli (or to taste).
  4. Set the cooked quinoa aside, wipe the pan clean and reheat with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Add the korma paste, cook for 30 seconds, then mix in the cooked quinoa, roasted tomatoes & peppers. Remove from the heat and stir in the spinach, juice from half a lime and a pinch of sea salt (to taste).
  5. Roughly chop the coriander. Stir half the coriander, the remaining chilli (to taste) and juice from the remaining lime through roasted aubergines.
  6. Serve the quinoa on plates, topped with the falafels and roasted sweet potato. Drizzle with the dressing. Sprinkle over the coconut chips and remaining coriander.
