Preparation method

How do you make this?

Preheat the oven to 200 °C.

Scrub the sweet potatoes and cut them into wedges. Place the potato wedges in a baking dish. Drizzle them with olive oil.

Peel the onions and garlic. Finely chop 1 onion and crush the garlic. Mix the chopped onion and garlic with a splash of olive oil and the turmeric. Add the mixture to the potato wedges and mix.

Place the baking dish in the oven for about 25 minutes.

Put the quinoa in a pot with double the amount of water and bring to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and a sprig of rosemary. Cover and let simmer on low heat until all the moisture is absorbed and the quinoa is cooked. Stir occasionally in the pot.

Remove the seeds from the bell peppers. Finely chop the peppers and the remaining onion. Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté the peppers and onion. Deglaze with a splash of red wine and let simmer until the peppers are soft.

Finely chop the mint and coriander.

Mix the quinoa with the peppers. Season with pepper and salt and optionally lime juice. Sprinkle the mint and coriander on top. Finish with the raisins and sunflower seeds and/or pumpkin seeds. Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and arrange them on the quinoa.

Mix the Greek yogurt with a splash of olive oil and serve with the quinoa.
