Ingredients

Olive oil for frying
1 small onion, finely diced
200-250g grated carrot (about 2 medium carrots)
1 small broccoli (about 300g), broken into florets and whizzed in a food processor until fine
300g cooked quinoa (about 150g uncooked)
90-100g shelled, unroasted pistachios

For the dressing

75ml extra-virgin olive oil
Grated zest and juice 1 lemon
10g fresh chives, snipped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
½ tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp maple syrup

Method

Heat a glug of oil in a medium pan over a gentle heat. Fry the onion with a pinch of salt for 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the carrots and cook for a few minutes.
Add the broccoli to the pan and cook for 2 minutes more or until both the carrot and broccoli are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Transfer to a serving dish.
Whisk all the dressing ingredients with a pinch of salt in a small bowl, then pour over the warm vegetables and mix. Stir in the quinoa and nuts, season to taste, then serve.
