*TIP Place walnuts in microwave on kitchen paper and cook for approx 1 min – cook all nuts this way rather than cooking in oil in a frypan

 

METHOD

Place quinoa in stock, add Moroccan season and cook according to instructions until light and fluffy. Set aside with lid on saucepan so that any remaining water is absorbed.

Place oil, lemon and zest, and rest of ingredients in a bowl and toss to combine.

Add cooked quinoa, toss and serve warm or cold.
