Serves: 4 people

Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

* indicates optional ingredients

• 700g (1 lb / 8 oz) butternut squash (or any pumpkin/squash), peeled

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

• 190g (6½ oz) quinoa (white, red or tricolour), washed and drained)

• 324g (12 fl oz) 1 pouch of Borough Broth Organic Chicken or Beef Bone Broth

• 3 spring onions (scallions), finely sliced

• A handful of pea shoots

• 50g (1¾ oz) mung, adzuki, lentil and pea sprouts *

• A few handfuls of coarsely chopped chopped fresh herbs (flat-leaf parsley, basil, tarragon and/or dill)

• 3-4 tablespoons white and black chia seeds

 

Mustard Vinaigrette

• 80ml (2¾ fl oz) extra virgin olive oil

• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

• 1 lemon, juiced

• 2 tablespoons wholegrain (seeded) mustard

• Sea salt & freshly ground pepper

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).

2. Start by roasting the pumpkin. Chop into cubes and place on a baking tray. Add olive oil and toss to coat. Bake for 30–40 minutes (tossing halfway through) or until the pumpkin is tender and golden around the edges. Set aside and allow to cool to room temperature.

3. Place quinoa and broth in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce heat, cover and cook until the liquid has been absorbed and the quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes. Uncover, fluff the quinoa with a fork and set aside to allow to cool.

4. Place quinoa in a large bowl. Add roasted pumpkin cubes, spring onions, pea shoots, mixed sprouts (if using), herbs and chia seeds.

5. Combine vinaigrette ingredients in a small jug. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss to combine.

6. Divide between bowls and scatter with extra chia seeds, to serve.
