SERVING TIPS

You can use two cups of water and two cups of vegetable stock for the quinoa to give it a more robust flavour.

Remember when you blanch: so it's crisp but not rock hard.

You could add some toasted pine nuts to add a different texture. When toasting them add Marlaina’s Premium Jerk Seasoning Mild to give this dish an extra kick.
