250 g of quinoa

1 medium onion, chopped fine

250g mixed frozen vegetables (carrot, beans, cauliflower)

Method:

Add the vegetables along with the fresh coriander. Stir and leave covered for 4-5 mins until the vegetables are slightly cooked but still have a bit of a crunch.

Stir in the quinoa into the pan. Add water, salt to taste and bring to boil.

Then lower the heat to simmer and cover to cook for about 5 mins. Ensure heat is low to prevent the quinoa from sticking to the pan.

Once the quinoa is fluffed up and cooked, add in all the Spice Drops®. Mix well to get an even blend of all the flavours. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot.

l Spice Drops are available from Ocado, Amazon, Not on the High Street or from www.holylamaspicedrops.com for around £3.50 per bottle.
