| This recipe for a quick but delicious quinoa salad, from our friend Bintu Hardy’s blog Recipes from a Pantry, has become a regular favourite for our deliciously nutty and light British Quinoa. |
Take a helping of one of my favourite Sierra Leonean side dishes – aka groun soup (with a lime and onion base). Add in a dash of the Lebanese food I also grew up with. Then top it up with some quinoa. And there you have it.
A minty lime olive quinoa salad.
The quinoa really does carry these flavours very well. And it can be prepared in advance and chilled for a quick brunch or supper side dish. I reckon it would be fab served alongside some homemade Labneh and pitta bread. I meant to have the salad you see in the picture with some sweet roasted butternut squash and lamb. But I just took a break from food photography, sat down and ate it all. Just like that. Well, apart from the 1 tsp I saved for OH’s to taste test.

Try this seasonal British classic using our organic four-grain muesli base, wholemeal flour and poppy seeds for extra plant diversity. And feel free to switch the fruit for whatever's in seasonal abundance.
This satisfying subji - a dish of vegetables - features soft, spiced carrot koftas baked to perfection and served in a rich, earthy “nomato” sauce made with beetroot, squash and courgette. Made with fava bean flour and wholemeal wheat flour, the koftas are high in protein and fibre, with warming spices like cumin, turmeric, and sumac for depth and zing.
These cold-proved wholemeal sourdough rolls with nuts or seeds are inspired by the rustic rolls typical of Scandinavian artisanal bakeries. But despite this, they're very easy to make.
