Ingredients:

 1 cup Quinoa red and pearl
2 cups of vegetable stock
Dash of olive oil
100g Tenderstem broccoli, blanched and refreshed in ice
½ a Shallot, chopped and sautéed in olive oil until soft
100g Edamame beans, blanched and refreshed
100g Kale, blanched and refreshed
50g Pomegranate seeds
Citrus dressing
1 cup fresh orange juice reduced to glace
25ml white wine vinegar
75ml Olive oil
Seasoning (Salt & Pepper as you please)
½ tsp honey

Instructions:

Quinoa
Place quinoa in saucepan adding in the stock
and the dash of olive oil. Roughly mix together
with a fork and bring to the boil before turning
down to simmer until all the liquid has been absorbed.
 
If the quinoa has not expanded and appears to still
be hard, add some more water and leave to simmer some more.
We recommend using a fork to ‘fluff’ up your quinoa to get
the desired texture.
 
Pro tip: Rinse the dry quinoa in a sieve before cooking,
this will encourage the quinoa to expand and soak up the stock.
 
Dressing
To make the dressing first you’ll need to turn the orange
juice into a glace. You can do this by adding the orange
juice to a saucepan and gently boiling on a medium to high
heat until a syrup like texture has formed.
 
Once cool you will then need to whisk the orange glace,
vinegar and honey together and begin to slowly add olive
oil and seasoning.
 
To serve In a mixing bowl, toss quinoa, tenderstem broccoli,
kale and edamame beans with citrus vinaigrette. Sprinkle
pomegranate seeds and you’re ready to serve.
