Method
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan and gently fry the onion for 5 minutes until starting to soften. Add the garlic, quinoa and carrots, then gently fry for 5 minutes more, stirring.
- Pour in the stock, turn up the heat and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes until the quinoa is tender.
- Stir in the prawns, spinach, lemon zest and juice and most of the parsley. Simmer for 2-3 minutes more until the prawns are cooked through and opaque. Taste, season with salt and pepper, then serve straightaway, sprinkled with the remaining parsley.
