Before you start

  • Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a medium frying pan, a measuring jug, a sieve & a slotted spoon or tongs

Get started

  • Dice the pepper into 1cm chunks. Roughly dice the tomatoes. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Trim the broccoli
  • Add the quinoa to the saucepan filled with salted water and boil for 13-14 mins, until cooked
  • In the final 4 mins, add the broccoli and boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked, then remove from the pan using a slotted spoon or tongs. Drain the quinoa

Build the dish

  • Heat the medium frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pepper and tomatoes and cook for 4-5 mins, until softening
  • Add the garlic, smoked paprika, ground almonds and tomato puree and cook for another 2 mins
  • Stir in the chickpeas (with their liquid) and bring to a simmer for 3-4 mins, until reduced

Final touches

  • Roughly chop the parsley. Crumble the half pack of feta
  • Stir the vinegar, half the crumbled feta and half the parsley into the chickpeas, until creamy. Taste and season if needed. Add a splash of water if it becomes too thick

Plate up

  • Share the romesco chickpeas between bowls, with the quinoa and broccoli alongside. Garnish with the remaining parsley and crumble over the remaining feta to finish
