Protein-Packed Chorizo, Quinoa and Almond Jumble

Rumour has it that Superman’s powers don’t actually come from the Planet Krypton. They’re from this dinner. Quinoa is a complete protein (which means it contains all essential nine amino acids we need to be at our best), whilst almonds and feta give you another protein hit together with a dose of magnesium, vitamin B and vitamin E. Who needs supplements when you’re eating this well?!

Instructions

1

Rinse the quinoa under running water for at least 30 seconds (this is very important to improve flavour!). Boil a medium-sized pot of water (around 1½l) with half the stock pot. Boil the quinoa for 8 mins then drain. Put back in the empty pot and cover with a tea towel.

Very finely dice the red onion
2

Remove the core from the pepper and chop a third of the red pepper into tiny ½cm squares. Chop the remainder into roughly 1cm squares. Chop the vine tomatoes into 1cm cubes. Peel and very finely chop the red onion.

3

Wrap the almonds in a clean tea towel or between clingfilm and whack them with the bottom of a saucepan to lightly crush them. Drain and thoroughly rinse the lentils.

Cook for a few mins until it just turns crispy
4

Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook for a few mins until it just turns crispy at the edges. Remove from the pan but leave any juices in the pan.

Add the red onion and large red pepper squares
5

Turn the heat to medium and add the red onion and the larger red pepper squares (we’ll use the small ½cm squares at the end). Cook for 7 mins until soft.

Stirring everything together
6

Once the ingredients have softened up, add the tomato and chorizo and cook for another few mins before tipping in the lentils and stirring everything together.

7

Remove the pan from the heat and stir through 2 tbsp of chopped coriander, the quinoa, the small squares of raw red pepper, almonds and finish off by crumbling over the feta cheese (using your hands to crumble it).
