Ingredients
  • 300g/10½oz/scant 2 cups quinoa
  • 70g/2½oz/scant ½ cup pine nuts
  • 3 passion fruits, seeds scraped out
  • 1 small handful mint leaves, chopped
  • 1 handful parsley leaves, chopped
  • 1 handful coriander leaves, chopped
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • sea salt (optional)
Method
  1. Put the quinoa in a sieve and rinse well. Transfer to a saucepan and pour over 500ml/18fl oz/2 cups cold water. Bring to the boil over a medium heat, then turn the heat down to low and leave to simmer for 15–20 minutes until the quinoa is tender and the water has been absorbed. If there is any water left, drain the quinoa thoroughly. Transfer to a serving bowl.
  2. Meanwhile, heat a heavy-based frying pan over a medium heat. Add the pine nuts and dry-fry until just starting to turn golden. Remove from the heat and add to the serving bowl.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Season if you like and serve either warm or cold.
