Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a wok with a lid, add the onion and garlic, and fry for 5 mins until softened, then lift from the wok with a slotted spoon. Add the squash, stir round the wok until it starts to colour, then add the broccoli. Sprinkle in 3 tbsp water and the thyme, cover the pan and steam for about 5 mins until the veg is tender.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, tip quinoa into a bowl and fluff it up. Add the parsley, cranberries, seeds (if using), cooked onion and garlic, and balsamic vinegar, and mix well. Toss through the vegetables with the feta. Will keep in the fridge for 2 days.

Lovely colourful salad full of texture and flavour. I used 80g dry quinoa which I steamed for around 15 minutes and substituted carrots for squash, which worked well. I think sweet potato would also work well. I used tenderstem broccoli

So pleased with this healthy and flavourful meal that doubles up easily for leftovers! I forgot to take out the onion and garlic before adding the veg but to be honest I think that added an extra caramelised taste and made the onions soft in a nice way.

Also used fresh quinoa and it was fine.…

Nice recipe. Very filling and obviously very healthy. I served it with a fillet of salmon and a lemon slice. ONLY convenient if you're using pre-cut, precooked vegetables, though.

I used fresh butternut and 'fresh' quinoa, and the whole meal took over an hour before anything even went in the pan.…
