Step 1

Bring a saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the quinoa and boil for 13-14 mins, until cooked. Drain the sweetcorn. Add the spinach and sweetcorn to the saucepan for the final 1-2 mins of cooking, then drain altogether.

Step 2

Make the quick pickled onions. Thinly slice the onion and place half into a small bowl with the vinegar and a pinch of sea salt. Mix and leave to pickle.

Step 3

Heat a medium frying pan with 2 tsp oil on medium heat. Add the beef and cook for 3-4 mins, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until golden brown. Season with sea salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Meanwhile, finely chop or crush the garlic. Roughly chop the tomatoes. Add the garlic and remaining onion to the beef pan and cook for 2-3 mins.

Step 5

Add the tomatoes, passata, chipotle (to taste) and paprika to the pan. Cook for 2-3 mins, then add 200ml hot water. Crumble in the stock cube and stir. Bring to a boil then simmer for 5 mins, until thickened. Season with sea salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Serve the sweetcorn and spinach quinoa with the beef barbacoa. Garnish with the pickled onion and yoghurt.
