Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

This dish is as good for a weeknight dinner as it is for a lunchbox the next day, and feels nicely balanced with the broccoli, peas and butter beans against the feta, quinoa and lemon.

Ingredients

125g quinoa
325ml water
1 x 400g tin of butter beans, drained
1 large head of broccoli, cut into large florets
150g frozen peas
200g feta cheese, crumbled
40g flaked almonds
15g mint leaves
A few tsp of pink peppercorns (optional)
For the dressing:
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 lemons, zest and juice
Lots of freshly ground pepper
1 tsp sea salt flakes

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/gas 6.

Tip the quinoa, water and butter beans into a roasting tin or lidded casserole dish, then arrange the broccoli on top in a single layer, and scatter over the frozen peas. Cover tightly with foil or the lid, then transfer to the oven and roast for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk the olive oil, lemon zest and juice and freshly ground black pepper together with the sea salt. Once the broccoli and quinoa are just cooked through, drizzle with the dressing, scatter over the feta, almonds, mint and peppercorns, if using, and serve hot or at room temperature.
