A really simple quinoa salad that's quick to make and ready in 15 minutes.  It's delicious on its own or served as a side dish.

Makes 2 generous servings

Ingredients

  • 100g Quinoa (rinsed)
  • 250ml water
  • 1 Avocado
  • A handful of green olives
  • A bunch of coriander
  • 2 tablespoons or olive oil
  • 1/2 Lime

Method

  1. Put the quinoa in a pan with the water and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat to let it simmer for 15 minutes. When it's cooked cover with a cloth and leave to stand.
  2. Meanwhile chop up the avocado, olives and coriander. 
  3. Fluff up the quinoa with a fork and stir in the avocado, olives and coriander.
  4. Drizzle over the oil and a squeeze of lime and season with salt and pepper.

Mejadra - or Mujaddara - is a simple but perfect store cupboard combination of lentils, rice or another grain, spices and crispy onions. You can find subtle variations across the Middle East but each is equally comforting and delicious. This version uses Hodmedod's Pilau Mix #2 in which the nutty emmer grains make a delicious British-grown substitute for the more usual rice, alongside our earthy olive green lentils.
