Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• ½ tsp turmeric
• 300g quinoa, rinsed
• 50g toasted flaked almonds
• 100g feta cheese, crumbled
• handful parsley, roughly chopped
• juice ½ lemon

Directions

1. Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the spices, then fry for a min or so until fragrant. Add the quinoa, then fry for a further min until you can hear gentle popping sounds. Stir in 600ml boiling water, then gently simmer for 10-15 mins until the water has evaporated and the quinoa grains have a white ‘halo’ around them. Allow to cool slightly, then stir through the other ingredients. Serve warm or cold.
