how to make vickys spiced quinoa cous cous with chickpeas and broccoli


Preheat the oven to gas 7 / 210C / 425°F and line a baking tray with foil


Toss the broccoli and chickpeas with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with the salt and pepper


Spread out on the baking tray and roast for 20 - 25 minutes, until the broccoli is a bit browned


While that's roasting cook the quinoa or corn cous cous according to packet directions but use vegetable stock instead of water


Also heat the last tablespoon of oil in a pan over a medium heat and cook the onion until translucent. Add in the garlic and spices and cook for a further minute


Add in the cooked quinoa / couscous and stir to coat with the spices. You may need to add a dash of water so it doesn't stick to the pan


Put the quinoa / couscous on a plate and top with the roasted chickpea and broccoli mixture


Serve with a lemon wedge and a fresh coriander leaf garnish
