Method |
- Break the broad beans out of their pods and put the beans to one side.
We recommend doing this before you start the cooking, because it can take a while.
- Put the quinoa and water in a pan and bring to the boil. Simmer gently for 15 minutes, until the quinoa is cooked. (The outer piece of the quinoa seed separates from the central part).
- Meanwhile, peel and chop the onion. Peel and crush the garlic.
- Heat the oil in a pan and add the onion and garlic. Saute them gently for 5 minutes.
- Scrub the carrots and slice. Add to the onions and saute for a further 5 minutes.
- Add the broad beans. Cover and saute for 5 minutes until cooked. Add the kidney beans for the last 2 minutes to heat through.
- Mix together the vegetables, quinoa and grated cheese.
Serve hot for lunch or cold as a salad for a party.
Note: if serving cold, you might prefer to leave out the Cheddar.

Really enjoyed this. It's filling and full of flavor but not heavy, a bit like a risotto. |
