Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Oil
  • 2 Leeks chopped
  • 1 400g tin Chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 2 Carrots peeled and juilenned
  • 2 Courgettes thinly sliced lengthways
  • 200 g Quinoa
  • 2 cloves Garlic crushed
  • 700 ml Vegetable Stock
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Mint chopped
  • 2 tablespoon Pine Nuts toasted
  • ½ Lemon in wedges
  • 3 Radishes thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Place the quinoa and vegetable stock in a saucepan and simmer over a low heat until all the stock has been absorbed by the quinoa. 
  • While the quinoa is cooking heat the oil over a medium heat. Add the leek and garlic and fry until softened. Add the chickpeas and cook for another couple of minutes. 
  • Stir the chickpea mixture into the quinoa along with the mint and pine nuts and keep warm. Heat a griddle over a high heat and cook the courgette for 5 minutes, flipping halfway through to make sure you get nice char marks. 
  • Build your bowls by placing a helping of quinoa in each bowl and topping with some carrot, courgette, radish and a lemon wedge.
