Ingredients
- Vegetable oil 1 tbsp

- Vegetable Stockpot 1
- Three colour quinoa 50g (2oz)
- Feta cheese 110g (4oz)

Directions
- Heat oil with onion and spices in a large pan. Cover and fry gently for 5 minutes while you coarsely grate carrots and add to pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for a few minutes.

- Meanwhile, cook quinoa according to pack instructions, drain and set aside.
