Instructions

Step 1

Place quinoa in a small saucepan with 1.5 cups of water on medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and cook until all the water has evaporated, partially covered. Set aside once cooked.

Step 2

In a frying pan, add the sweet potato rounds and fry on 1 tbsp of oil on medium heat for around 3-4 minutes on each side. The potatoes should be a little golden on the outside and soft on the inside. Set aside.

Step 3

Using the same frypan, add the other 1 tbsp of oil and the baby spinach. Place the lid on top and let the spinach wilt down. Give it a quick stir, and then add in the garlic. Stir again and season with a pinch of salt. Set aside.

Step 4

Make the tahini sauce.

Step 5

Plate up for two serves. In each bowl, add half of all the ingredients (quinoa, sweet potato rounds, garlic baby spinach, avocado, chickpeas and fermented vegetables), and then drizzle the tahini dressing over the top.

Step 6

Enjoy straight away or keep in the fridge for up to three days in an airtight container (keep the fermented vegetables and tahini dressing off until you’re ready to serve).
