Nutty Pea & Quinoa Bowl
A great post-work dinner option during the week, or a lovely simple weekend supper, this recipe takes 25 minutes from start to finish. I love the mix of crunchy tamari roasted almonds with the creamy lime infused pea purée and the gently sautéed kale and courgette — when it's all tossed with the quinoa it's heaven!
