METHOD

  • 1. Cover the quinoa in boiling water and boil for 7 – 10 minutes until al dente.
  • 2. Remove from heat and drain under cold running water. Set aside.
  • 3. Combine the chickpeas, olive oil and harissa in a bowl and toss to evenly coat the chickpeas.
  • 4. Heat a non-stick frypan over a medium heat, add the chickpeas and fry, stirring occasionally until lightly browned and fragrant (approx. 10 minutes).
  • 5. Set aside and keep warm.
  • 6. Assemble buddha bowls, by adding quinoa, mixed greens, avocado and chickpeas evenly between two bowls.
  • 7. Top with Spicy Tomato Salsa and Tahini Yogurt Dressing.
 

TWEAK

*For a non-vegan version consider swapping the chickpeas for sliced chicken breast:

Coat one chicken breast in the harissa seasoning and olive oil and cook in a frying pan over a medium heat until cooked through.

Slice and divide between the two Buddha bowls.
