INGREDIENTS
1-2 heads of baby gem lettuce
1 pouch of Mediterranean Quinoa
20g sunblushed tomatoes
60g mozzarella
Handful of fresh basil leaves

METHOD
- Grab a Mediterranean Quinoa from the cupboard and heat in the microwave as per instructions on the back of the pack.
- Carefully pull some fresh leaves from a baby gem lettuce without tearing them.
- Wash the leaves gently with cold water and strain off.
- Plate up your lettuce cups facing upwards like open palms.
- Once hot, remove the Mediterranean Quinoa from the microwave and shake into the leaves. Take a block of mozzarella and slice into strips.
- Lay the strips over the lettuce cups so that the mozzarella melts into the toasty quinoa.
- Throw on some sweet tomatoes or antioxidant-rich olives for a powerhouse of flavours and goodness. Bon appétit!
