This smoky, caramelized all-in-one quinoa salad—if you are a fan of quinoa or salad—is perfect for dinner and then a lunchbox the following day.
Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients
- 3 carrots, peeled and cut into ½-inch (1-cm) wedges
- 3 parsnips, peeled and cut into ½-inch (1-cm) wedges
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- 2 large sprigs of fresh rosemary
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1⅓ cups (240 g) quinoa, rinsed well and drained
- 3 cups (720 mL) boiling water
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 2 ounces (60 g) arugula, washed
Method
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Put the carrots, parsnips, garlic, rosemary, bay leaves, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper into a roasting pan, give it all a good mix with your hands, then transfer to the oven and roast for 40 minutes.
- Add the quinoa and water, stirring, scraping the bottom of the roasting pan. Cover with foil, then return the oven for a further 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil, fluff up the quinoa with a fork, and leave to steam dry for 5 minutes. Drizzle over the extra-virgin olive oil, taste, and season with sea salt and lemon juice as needed, then stir through the arugula. Serve hot or cold.
