• 1 medium head broccoli, broken into florets

• 2 tbsp hazelnut oil

• Zest and juice 1 lemon

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 180°C and bring two pans of salted water to the boil.  Toast the quinoa in a hot oven for five minutes, then cook in boiling water for 10mins or until just tender. In a separate pan of boiling water, cook the broccoli florets for 2 mins. Drain the quinoa and broccoli in a large sieve and rinse in cold water until cold. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.

Add the oil, lemon zest and juice and seasoning to taste. Toast the hazelnuts in the oven for five minutes, then roughly chop or crush with a pestle and mortar.

Roughly chop the watercress and add to the quinoa along with the hazelnuts, tomatoes, and feta cheese. Serve with more watercress leaves.
