Instructions

Step 1

In a saucepan, combine quinoa and stock. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and cover. Allow to simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Step 2

Heat oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add in the onion and garlic. Fry for about a minute.

Step 3

Add in capsicum and carrot, sautéing for about 5 minutes or until they start to soften.

Step 4

Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together all the sauce ingredients until combined.

Step 5

Add in all the spices, then stir in the pineapple, spinach and tomato, cooking for a further 3 to 4 minutes or until the spinach wilts and tomatoes have released some of their juices.

Step 6

Add in the cooked quinoa and sauce. Mix thoroughly to combine. Then do the same with a squirt of lemon juice.

Step 7

Remove from the heat and serve, adding some fresh coriander and chilli flakes (if desired) to garnish.
