𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Chop the sweet potatoes into 2.5cm chunks. Toss well with chili flakes, ground coriander and cinnamon, a drizzle of olive oil and a little sea salt and black pepper and spread out on a roasting pan and bake between 15 to 20 minutes until crisp.
Meanwhile, cook the quinoa according to the packet instructions. Slice the broccoli into small florets. Place into a heatproof colander and rest it over the quinoa pan. Cover and steam for 3 minutes. Once cooked, drain, and rinse the quinoa under cold running water, then side aside along with the broccoli to cool. Remove the sweet potato from the oven and side aside.
Toast the nuts in a dry frying pan over a medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, then crush lightly in a mortar. Halve the pomegranate and squeeze half the juice into a large bowl. Add 3 times as much olive oil, the lime juice and vinegar. Add the cooled broccoli and sprouts to the dressing, roughly chop the coriander, finely slice the chili and add to the bowl along with the quinoa and sweet potato. Toss well then add the avocado on top.
Deseed the pomegranate and scatter on top along with crushed nuts, then serve with the feta crumbled over the top. Top with sliced chicken or turkey breast if desired.
