I was first unsure of these flavours when I started working on adding different spices to my quinoa whether it’d be suitable for breakfast or lunch\/dinner.<\/p>\n

I’m so pleased with the way this turned out. The cinnamon\/nutmeg\/turmeric goes so well with the roasted pumpkin & fresh vegetables in this salad.<\/p>\n

It’s super easy, however give yourself 30 mins to prepare the quinoa as this will be what will take the longest.<\/p>\n

You’ll feel perfectly full and satisfied after this dish as it offers you some sweetness from the pumpkin and cinnamon and low-gi from the quinoa to keep you going for hours.<\/p>\n

This recipe is suitable for vegans, is dairy-free, sugar-free, gluten-free, nut-free, egg-free.<\/p>\n

Ingredients (serves 2):<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quinoa:<\/p>\n

\n
• 1\/4 cup red quinoa, rinsed<\/li>\n
• 1\/2 cup water<\/li>\n
• 1\/4 cup coconut milk or cream<\/li>\n
• 2 tbsp cinnamon<\/li>\n
• 1 tsp nutmeg<\/li>\n
• 1 tsp turmeric<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Salad:<\/p>\n

  \n
  • 1 cup pumpkin, diced<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 red capsicum, diced<\/li>\n
  • 2 spring onions, sliced<\/li>\n
  • Handful parsley, chopped<\/li>\n
  • 1 avocado, diced<\/li>\n
  • Salt & Pepper<\/li>\n
  • H2COCO Coconut Oil\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
    1. In a medium pot, combine the rinsed quinoa and water. Bring it to a boil and lower the heat to a simmer with a lid on for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.<\/li>\n
    2. When the water is almost absorbed by the quinoa, add the coconut milk or cream along with the cinnamon, nutmeg and turmeric. Cover with a lid. Leave for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.<\/li>\n
    3. While the quinoa is cooking, steam your pumpkin in a steamer for about 5-6 minutes or until tender.<\/li>\n
    4. Heat a skillet on medium heat with coconut oil and add your pumpkin when it’s tenderised from the steaming. Turn a few times until golden on the sides. Season with S&P.<\/li>\n
    5. Your quinoa should now be fluffy and soaked up 95% of the coconut milk or cream.<\/li>\n
    6. Add the quinoa to a mixing bowl and combine it with capsicum, spring onions, parsley, avocado and the pumpkin. Toss and serve in two bowls.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
