Ingredients

  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 Pepper chopped
  • 1 Lemon juiced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 5 scallions sliced
  • 3 Vine tomatoes diced
  • 1 handful Fresh Parsley roughly chopped

Method

  1. Bring the water to the boil in a saucepan. Add the quinoa with a pinch of salt. Turn down the heat to a low simmer (about ‘2’ on most hobs).
  2. Put on the lid and cook for 15 minutes. It should soak up all of the water. Allow the quinoa to cool down and then fluff it with a fork.
  3. Using a large bowl(big enough to hold all of the quinoa and the vegetables) mix the vegetables with the lemon juice and parsley and add a little pepper.
  4. When the quinoa is at room temperature, stir it into the vegetables.
  5. This is ready to eat but If you can leave it for a while before eating, the flavours will develop and it will taste even nicer.

Ingredients

  • 2-3 handfuls jumbo porridge oats

  • fresh berries or an apple
  • cinnamon, ginger or nutmeg
  • 2 cups milk (coconut, almond, cow’s milk, etc.)

  2. Grate the apple and divide between the 2 jars, add some berries if you have them, sprinkle on the spices and then top up with the milk. Seal the lid, pop in the fridge overnight and enjoy a healthy breakfast tomorrow morning.
