Ingredients
- 2 -3 large (400g) red potatoes, leave skin on and chop into 2cm chunks (approx 3 cups)
- 350g green beans, trimmed and chopped into 2 cm pieces
- 3 large whole garlic cloves (leave skin incl. during cooking process)
- 2 tblsp RG extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
- Murray River Salt Flakes and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup (200 g) uncooked quinoa
- 1 cup finely chopped kale, silverbeet, or spinach
- 4 spring onions, thinly sliced
- 375mL Yarrawonga Splash Vinaigrette (aka dressing)
- 1/4 cup RG Yarrawonga Dukkah
- 1 large ripe avocado, sliced
Directions
- Preheat oven to 200°C and line with baking paper.
- Place the chopped potatoes, green beans, and garlic cloves onto the baking sheet. Toss with the RG EVOO and season with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Spread into an even layer.
- Roast for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and flip before continuing to roast for about 15 more minutes until the potatoes and beans are tender and golden brown.
- Cook the quinoa with 2 cups of salted water. Cover and cook for 12 to 14 minutes, until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Remove from heat, fluff with a fork, drizzle with RG EVOO and leave the lid on to keep warm.
- When the vegetables are finished roasting, trim the end off each garlic clove and push the roasted garlic out. Mash the garlic with a fork, then fold it into the quinoa.
- Spoon the potatoes and beans into a large serving bowl. Now add the quinoa along with the kale and spring onions.
- Pour all of the Yarrawonga Splash Vinaigrette dressing onto the vegetables and toss to coat.
- Season with Murray River Salt Flakes and pepper (to taste) and add some crunch with RG Yarrawonga Dukkah and sliced avocado. Serve immediately.
TIP:
To boost the protein, try adding some warmed & cubed roast chicken or some Aussie chickpeas (for extra flavour, gently brown them off in a skillet with a mini splash of RG EVOO)
