Makes 1 large jar or 2 small
Ingredients
6-8 Gosh Sweetcorn & Quinoa Bites
½ cup of lemony quinoa (see previous recipe)
1 grated carrot
½ cup of shredded purple cabbage
½ cup of cooked sweetcorn
½ cup of sliced cherry tomatoes
A handful of mixed sprouts
For the pink tahini dressing:
2 tablespoons of runny tahini paste
Juice of ½ lemon
1 teaspoon of miso paste
1 tablespoon of beetroot juice
Method
- Preheat oven to 200 °C / fan oven 180 °/ gas mark 4.
- Start by making the dressing: simply mix the tahini paste, lemon juice, miso paste and beetroot juice in a bowl. If the dressing is too thick add splashes of water gradually to reach the desired consistency. Leave the dressing to the side.
- Place Gosh! Sweetcorn & Quinoa Bites on a baking tray and cook in the centre of the oven for 8-10 minutes.
- Bring a pan of water to the boil and cook quinoa until softened.
- To assemble the jar, start by layering the quinoa at the bottom. Add the grated carrot, shredded purple cabbage, sweetcorn, sprouts and cherry tomatoes. Top with the Sweetcorn & Quinoa Bites, and drizzle with pink tahini dressing.
If you’re making this dish in advance, keep the dressing in a separate container and pour over when you’re ready to tuck in. Easy, fast food- the way mother nature intended.
