I had this one for breakfast as I had some hummus to use up which makes a difference to my usual porridge breaky but it’s great for any time of the day.
The lemon, chilli and garlic hummus really gives flavour to this dish as the quinoa and green veg are quite plain.
This dish is also super easy to pull together meaning you’re not in the kitchen for ages but still get plenty of goodness into you, win!
