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 wedges and roughly slice the pepper. Place both onto a lined baking tray. Drizzle with 1 tsp oil and season with sea salt and black pepper. Roast for 20-25 mins, turning halfway, until the veg is soft and golden.
  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 under cold water.
  3. Make the dressing; finely chop or grate the half piece of ginger. Finely dice the chilli (remove the seeds for less heat). Zest and halve the lime. In a small bowl, mix together the yoghurt, ginger (to taste), lime zest, juice from half the lime, half the chilli (to taste) and the turmeric.
  4. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium heat. Add half the half pack of korma paste, cook for 30 seconds, then remove from the heat and stir in the cooked quinoa. Set aside to cool to room temperature for a cold salad (optional).
  5. Roughly chop the spinach and coriander. Stir the spinach and half the coriander through the quinoa along with a squeeze of lime juice and 2 tsp olive oil. Season with sea salt to taste. Stir the remaining coriander, chilli (to taste), another squeeze of lime juice and a small pinch of sea salt through the prawns and toss to coat.
  6. Finally, mix the roasted veg through the quinoa and serve onto plates. Top with the cold water prawns, drizzle with the yoghurt and sprinkle over the coconut chips.
