Warm quinoa salad with broad beans and pomegranate

Method

1. Rinse the quinoa in a sieve, then put it into a saucepan with 250ml water and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer over a gentle heat for about 15 minutes until all the water has been absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy.
2. Meanwhile, put the broad beans in a saucepan, cover with boiling water and simmer for 2-3 minutes until tender. Drain, then cover with cold water to cool. With your fingers, pop the beans out of their grey skins and into a medium bowl.
3. In a small bowl, combine the dressing ingredients, if using, then pour it over the beans to dress.4. Cut the pomegranate in half around its equator. Hold each half over the beans, cut-side down, and bang with a wooden spoon to release the seeds.
4. Add the beans and pomegranate to the cooked quinoa with the spring onions. Stir to combine, then serve.
