  • Notes
  1. Step 1

    Place the quinoa in a small saucepan with the stock powder and water. Stir to combine and bring to the boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 12 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

  2. Step 2

    Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place the tomatoes and asparagus on prepared tray. Spray with olive oil. Roast for 8-10 minutes or until tender. Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Place the cooled quinoa in a large bowl. Add the eggs and grated parmesan. Season and stir until well combined.

  4. Step 4

    Lightly spray a 26cm non-stick fluted tart tin with a removable base with oil. Press the quinoa mixture evenly and firmly into the base and side of tin to form a thick crust. Place on a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes or until light golden.

  5. Step 5

    Combine the goat's cheese, ricotta, parsley, chives and lemon rind in a bowl. Mix until smooth. Spread the cheese mixture over the quinoa base. Top with the roasted tomatoes and asparagus. Roast for a further 5-10 minutes or until warmed through. Sprinkle with the basil leaves and lightly drizzle with the balsamic vinegar.

Rich in antioxidant, watercress is also packed with vitamins A,C and K. Whip up a peppery watercress and radish salad to go with the hearty stuffed pumpkin.
