Quinoa and bean burritos with salsa and slaw
Method:
To make the quinoa and beans:
Dry roast the cumin and coriander seeds over a medium heat for a few minutes until fragrant. Grind the roasted seeds until they form a coarse powder. Heat the oil in a deep heavy based frying pan before frying the spices including the paprika for 30 seconds. Add the onion and continue to cook over a medium heat adding the garlic after 1-2 minutes.
Adding a little dash of stock to form a paste in the bottom of the pan toss in the beans and quinoa stir to combine and cook for a minute to allow the flavours develop. Add the remaining stock and bringing to a gentle simmer. Cook the quinoa for 15 minutes over a low heat until tender and the liquid is absorbed. The quinoa and beans can be made ahead of time and reheated. Toss through chopped mint just before serving.
To make the red cabbage and apple coleslaw:
Whisk the lime juice with the soy yoghurt adding salt and pepper to taste. Toss all the ingredients together including the dressing until well combined, set aside. The coleslaw can be made ahead of time and kept covered in the fridge.
To make the green tomato salsa:
Combine all the ingredients together in a food processor to create a thick salsa sauce. Use immediately.
