Preparation

Boil the water in a saucepan. Toast the quinoa by first heating the pan with a little oil. Add the hot water to the quinoa pan a little at a time and cook for about 15 minutes. Cut and chop all the vegetables after washing them. If you want, you can dice and add a mozzarella cheese as well. Sauté the Tropea onion and courgettes in a pan with a little oil.

When the quinoa is cooked, drain off the excess water and mix all the ingredients together. Add salt and pepper and a drizzle of raw oil. The final touch: a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of fresh parsley.
