Ingredients
Method
Preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas 5. Put the butternut squash in a roasting tin, drizzle over half the olive oil, add a pinch of salt and place in the oven to cook for around 30 minutes, checking every so often and giving it a stir to ensure it doesn’t burn.
Meanwhile, add the quinoa to a saucepan with the water and a pinch of salt. Bring back up to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes or until fluffy. Mix the lemon juice into the quinoa just before serving.
Now add the remaining olive oil to a frying pan and toast the chilli and garlic over a medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes or until fragrant, then add the kale and stir-fry until it starts to wilt. Finally, add the orange juice and tamari and cook for a further minute or two.
To assemble, first spread the quinoa on each plate or bowl, followed by the kale and then the caramelised butternut squash.
SWITCH IT UP: Also try serving this with crushed roasted walnuts, pine nuts or pecans.
