1 tsp Cumin seeds
½ tsp Ground Allspice
½ tsp Chilli flakes
½ tsp Fennel
1 heaped tbsp Minced Garlic
2 tbsp Tomato puree
1 pint chicken or vegetable stock

Feel free to adapt this recipe using any veg or meat - frozen vegetables and tofu would work too. |
| How it was made1) Dry fry the spices (excluding coriander) on medium/high heat for a minute. Add garlic paste, tomato puree, chicken and cook for 2 minutes. (Keep the ingredients moving incase they stick to the pan. You may also need to add a drop of oil or water to moisten the pan and prevent the ingredients from catching - make sure your temperature is not too high).
2) Lower temperature to medium heat, add carrots, pepper and green beans and a splash of vinegar vinegar. Fry for further 2 minutes.
3) Pour in stock, and sprinkle in quinoa. Leave to simmer on medium heat for about 20 minutes. If the water evaporates before the quinoa has cooked, add a little more water to the dish.
4) Before the last of the liquid evaporates, add spinach and coriander leaves, then add some fresh chopped tomatoes for the last minute. Once the spinach has wilted into the dish, season with black pepper and you are ready to serve.
This amount feeds 1-2 people.
This dish was made by a member of the Healthy Supplies team. Do note that no extra salt was added as the garlic paste already contains salt. You may want to increase or decrease spice quantities to your preferred taste.
