Recipe:
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced
- 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 cup canned sweetcorn, drained
- 2 cups diced potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Method:
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked through and fluffy. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the home fries. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread the potatoes evenly on a lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.
To serve:
To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked quinoa evenly among four bowls. Top each bowl with black beans, sliced avocado, sliced tomato, sweetcorn, and a generous portion of home fries.
Additional Tips:
For extra flavour, add a squeeze of lime juice and a sprinkle of chopped coriander on top of each bowl.
Spice things up with a drizzle of hot sauce or a spoonful of your favourite salsa.
Top your bowl with a dollop of vegan sour cream or coconut yogurt for a cooling contrast.
