Method
  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the chopped pumpkin for 5 mins. Drain and spread out on a surface so any excess water evaporates.

  • Crush the fennel and coriander seeds using a pestle and morta and mix with the paprika and a pinch of seasoning Put the pumpkin in a large bowl, drizzle with half the olive oil and sprinkle over the spice mix. Toss to fully coat .

  • Tip the pumpkin onto a baking tray and space them apart. Roast, turning halfway through so they brown all over and turn slightly crisp in places.

  • Mix the garlic with lemon juice, chopped parsley  and stir through the olive oil, adding a little extra water to loosen if needed. Stir the onions, avocado, mangetout, chickpeas and almonds into the cooked quinoa along with the lemon zest and a pinch of salt.

  • Pile the quinoa salad onto a plate, over the cooked and cooled pumpkin. Drizzle over the garlic dressing.
