Ingredients

  • 1 cup (220g) uncooked quinoa
  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 1 large broccoli stalk (can use florets but more sparingly)
  • 2 tblsp coconut oil

  3. In a large pan melt the coconut oil then add the grated carrot and courgette and cook for just a couple of minutes, stirring
  4. Stir in the peas and spinach and stir until the spinach is just wilted into the mixture
  5. Add the lentils, flax seeds, chopped cooked chestnuts and cooked quinoa, broccoli and sweet potato and stir everything together
  6. Leave to cool and store in the fridge or portion and freeze what you won't use in the next 3-4 days
