Cooking Instructions
Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper
- Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
- Pull out a large frying pan & a sieve
Roast the aubergine & cook the quinoa
- Halve the aubergine lengthways, then cut a criss-cross pattern into the flesh (careful not to cut the skin). Place onto the lined baking tray, cut side-up and drizzle with 2 tsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast for 20-25 mins, until softening
- Add the quinoa to the saucepan and boil for 13-14 mins, until cooked, then drain
Prep & sizzle
- Thinly slice the pepper. Thinly slice the spring onions, keeping the green and white parts separate
- Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pepper, sugar snap peas and spring onion whites and cook for 4-5 mins, until softened
- Add the chilli paste (add less for less heat), ginger & garlic paste and the half pack of Chinese five spice and cook for a further minute
Finishing touches
- After 20-25 mins, drizzle the miso paste and maple syrup over the aubergine and return to the oven for a final 5 mins, until sticky and glazed
- Once cooked, toss the quinoa, edamame and tamari through the pepper mix and cook for 1-2 mins, until piping hot. Season with salt and pepper
Plate up
- Share the vegetable quinoa between plates, topped with the miso aubergine. Sprinkle over the peanuts and remaining spring onion to finish
