Adding quinoa to a buddha bowl gives it more substance and not to mention taste! As it is a slow-release carb it keeps you feeling fuller for longer, prolonging that snack time, unlike white rice.  (serves 2)

A Mindfulchef vegan feast inspired by the Middle East. Aubergines spiced with cumin and coriander and brushed with tangy pomegranate molasses. A fibre-packed side of grains like brown rice, quinoa and lentils. Garlicky broccoli on the side and a tahini dressing and pomegranate salsa to finish. Serves 4.

An amazing Mindfulchef creating using our golden veg quinoa. Muhammara – a spicy dip made from walnuts, roasted peppers and pomegranate molasses – makes a top-notch side for dinner. Think warm simmered haricot beans with peppers and tomatoes. Cucumber-studded British quinoa. Get the kids involved with the prep! Serves 4.

Mindfulchef x Quinola for another tasty dish! Chilli doesn’t have to take ages to make. Try this speedy vegan version with black beans, pepper and our chilli con carne spice mix. Add cinnamon and cacao for an extra depth of flavour, then serve with nutrient-dense spicy Mexican quinoa and cooling guacamole.
