Method

Step 1 of 4

Fill the red capsicums with the yellow cherry tomatoes and the yellow capsicums with the red tomatoes. Scatter over the cumin seeds, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil and season well with salt and pepper. Place in a preheated oven, 180°C for about 45 minutes or until tender and slightly blackened around the edges.

Step 2 of 4

Meanwhile, rinse the quinoa several times in cold water. Pour into a pan with twice its volume of boiling water, cover and simmer for about 12 minutes. It is cooked when the seed is coming away from the germ. Remove from the heat, cover and leave to stand until all the water has been absorbed.

Step 3 of 4

Heat the remaining oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat, add the onion and cook for 10 minutes or until softened. Add the spices, dried fruits and nuts and cook for a further 3-4 minutes, or until the fruits have softened, stirring frequently. Gently fold into the cooked quinoa.

Step 4 of 4

Heap the quinoa on to 4 plates and top each with 1 red and 1 yellow capsicum half. Sprinkle with the spring onions and extra flaked almonds and serve.
