Instructions
1. Rinse the quinoa under running water for at least 30 seconds (this is very important to improve flavour!). Boil a medium sized pot of water (around 1 and a half litres) with half the stock pot. Boil the quinoa for 8 mins then drain. Put back in the dry pan and cover with a tea towel.
2. Chop a third of the red pepper into tiny 1/2 cm squares. Chop the remainder into roughly 1cm squares. Chop the vine tomatoes into 1cm cubes. Peel and very finely dice the red onion.
3. Wrap the onions in a clean tea towel or between cling film and whack them with the bottom of a saucepan to lightly crush them. Drain and thoroughly rinse the lentils.
4. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Add the cubed chorizo and cook for a few mins until it just turns crispy at the edges. Remove from the pan but leave any juices in the pan.
5. Turn the heat to medium and add the red onion and the larger red pepper squares (we'll use the small half cm squares at the end). Cook for 7 mins until soft.
6. Once the ingredients have softened up, add the tomato and chorizo and cook for another few mins before tipping int the lentils and stirring everything together.
7. Remove the pan from the heat and stir through 2 tbsp of chopped coriander, the quinoa, the small squares of raw red pepper, almonds, and finish off by crumbling over the feta cheese (using your hands to crumble)
Serve and enjoy!
