Method
Rinse the quinoa. Put the quinoa and the orange juice in saucepan, heat through and simmer until the seed germ has separated and the quinoa seeds are tender.

  • Wash and halve the grapes.
  • Chop the brazil nuts and toast until light brown in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  • Trim the spring onions and chop.
  • Mix the honey and vinegar together
  • mix in the spring onions, grapes, and toasted nuts
For a side dish:
As soon as the quinoa is cooked, mix in the grapes dressing.
Adjust the seasoning and then turn into an oven proof dish, and put in the oven at Gas Mark 3 for 10 to 15 minutes to let the flavours mingle.
Serve.
For a salad dish
Once cooked, allow the quinoa to cool, and then mix in the grapes dressing.
Adjust the seasoning and turn out onto lettuce leaves.
Serve cool.
Variations
Flaked almonds work well inplace of the Brazil nuts.
Either use white quinoa with red grapes, or red quinoa with green grapes.
