  • A 35g bag of peanuts
  • A 25g bag of sunflower seeds
  • 1 celeriac
  • A 75g bag of quinoa
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 lemon
  • A 200g bag of red kale
From your kitchen

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

You'll need
  • Large frying pan with a lid

  • Measuring jug
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Tip the peanuts into a frying pan with the sunflower seeds. Toast over a medium heat for 2-3 mins till golden and nutty smelling. Shake the pan often to stop them burning. Peanuts have skins, so after toasting, leave to cool for a few mins, then rub off any skins. Roughly chop the peanuts and sunflower seeds and pop in a bowl.

  • 2.

    Slice the skin from the celeriac and give it a good wash. Cut the celeriac into 1cm thick slices, then chop the slices into 1cm wide sticks.

  • 3.

    Rinse the quinoa under cold running water to rinse off the bitter coating. Tip it into a pan and cover with 300ml boiling water. Pop on a lid and cook for 15 mins till the water is absorbed.

  • 4.

    Meanwhile, heat your frying pan for 1 min over a medium heat. Add 1 tbsp oil and the celeriac sticks. Cook for 6-7 mins till they start to colour. Sprinkle in ½ tsp each of the cayenne pepper and cinnamon. Toss together.

  • 5.

    Pour 150ml boiling water into the frying pan. Zest and juice the lemon and add that too. Cover and cook for 10 mins till the celeriac sticks are tender.

  • 6.

    Finely shred the kale, removing any tough stems. Once the celeriac has cooked for 10 mins, add the kale and fold through. Add a splash more water if necessary. Cover and steam for 3 mins.

  • 7.

    Stir through the cooked quinoa, peanuts and sunflower seeds. Taste for seasoning. Add a little more cayenne for extra heat if you like. Serve straight away.

  • Tip
