MAPLE AND CHILE ROASTED SQUASH WITH QUINOA TABOULI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
• Scoop the seeds from the squash and discard. Place squash, cut side up, onto a baking tray. Using the tip of a sharp knife, make some shallow slashes into the squash flesh. Combine the oil, maple, chile, salt and pepper and brush over the squash. Cover with aluminium foil and roast for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and roast for a further 40 minutes or until the squash is golden and soft.
• To make the quinoa tabouli, in a large bowl combine the quinoa, mint, and arugula.
• To make the lemon tahini dressing, in a small bowl, place the tahini, lemon juice, water, garlic and salt. Mix to combine.
• To serve, place the squash onto a serving platter and top with the tabouli. Drizzle with the lemon tahini dressing and sprinkle over almonds.

QUINOA TABBOULEH

Steps:

• Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Meanwhile, in a small cast-iron skillet (if possible), toast the quinoa over moderately-high heat until the grains give off a nutty aroma and start to pop. Pour the quinoa into the boiling water, taking care that the pot doesn't boil over! Turn it down to a simmer, cover, and cook until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove it from the heat and allow to cool.
• Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, 1/2 rounded teaspoon of salt, pepper and nutmeg.
• Combine the parsley, mint, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, peppadews and the cooled cooked quinoa in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Taste for seasoning, and let sit for about 5 minutes before you serve. (This tastes even better the next day!)
• Another way to serve it is with the tabbouleh in the center of a platter encircled with endive or romaine leaves to scoop it up.
