Ingredients
- 120 g chickpeas
- 45 g quinoa
- 80 g red pepper
- 80 g cucumber
- 40 g feta
- 15 g tahini
- 7 ml olive oil
Method
- Rinse the quinoa in a sieve, then put it in a saucepan with twice its volume of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes until the water is absorbed and the grains are tender.
- Meanwhile, cut the red pepper into strips. Heat half the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook the pepper for 7–8 minutes, turning, until soft and charred at the edges.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas, add them to the pan with the pepper and warm through for 2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Dice the cucumber and crumble the feta.
- Whisk the tahini with the rest of the olive oil, a pinch of salt and a little water until smooth and pourable.
- Take the quinoa off the heat, leave covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Divide between bowls, top with the chickpeas, pepper, cucumber and feta and drizzle over the tahini dressing.
