- 3/4
cup of quinoa (200g)
- about 400ml of water
- Green/red/orange/yellow
peppers
- 3 cloves of garlic
- Tin of red salmon (180g
boneless or 213g with bones)
- Olive oil and salt
- 100ml
passata, a healthier alternative to tomato puree (creamed/sieved
tomatoes)
Stage 1) Take your quinoa and put in a pot of 400ml of
water. Put a pinch of salt in the water and cook it for about 10mins on a
moderate heat.
Stage 2) Meanwhile take
your peppers and chop them into small cubes. Broadly cut the garlic too.
Then put them in a pan/wok with a splash of olive oil.

Stage 3) Check on the quinoa. If it looks dry and
is uncooked, add a bit more water and stir.
Take your salmon and drain the liquid within. Break it
apart and place in the same pan/wok as the veg.

Stage 4) The quinoa should be ready by now. Turn
it off and pour the quinoa on top of the veg in the pan/wok.

Stage 5) The fun part of the quinoa recipe. Put
the pan/wok on a medium heat. Stir all of the contents until they are
mixed. Now add the 100ml of passata.
Don't want to use passata? Read this: I'd advise against
using purees as they require a lot of added water. They're also less
nutritious since they have been concentrated. You could use chopped
tomatoes but this can make the dish very bulky and is unnecessary.
Stir all of the contents one last time and leave for about
5mins.

Stage 6) Serve. BTW, the orange shavings are
carrot peel! They are just for show.
