Ingredients

  • 100g seitan
  • 150g quinoa
  • 80g red pepper
  • 80g tenderstem broccoli
  • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 10g lemon juice
  • 50g greek yoghurt
  • chopped parsley

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the peppers and tenderstem, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Rinse the quinoa and simmer in 2 parts water for 15 minutes until the tails appear, then fluff.

  3. 3

    Slice the seitan thinly and stir-fry over high heat for 4-5 minutes until browned.

  4. 4

    Coat the protein generously in Cajun seasoning. Mix the yoghurt with lemon juice and a pinch of the spice to make a cooling dip.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the peppers and tenderstem for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: quinoa first, then the veg and seitan, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the chopped parsley.
