Steps
Steps
- 1Rinse the quinoa in a fine sieve for a full minute. The saponin coating is bitter and rinsing is not optional.
- 2Toast the drained quinoa in a dry pan for 2 minutes until it smells nutty, then cook it in the water for 15 minutes.
- 3Take it off the heat, cover and steam 10 minutes, then fork it through and spread on a tray to cool. Cooling it spread out stops it clumping.
- 4Char the sweetcorn in a dry hot pan until spotted black in places.
- 5Whisk the lime juice, oil, cumin and salt into a dressing and toss it through the warm quinoa.
- 6Once cool, fold in the beans, corn, onion, jalapeno and coriander.
- 7Add the avocado last, folding gently, and serve within the hour so it stays green.
