Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cups quinoa
- 2 Cups vegetable stock
- 1 Cup chickpeas cooked
- 1/2 head cauliflower cut into small florets
- 1 medium zucchini halved length ways and cut into 1/4 inch slices
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Toss the cauliflower and zucchini on a large baking tray. Drizzle over olive oil and add the cumin and coriander. Stir well to coat completely. Roast for about 20 minute or until soft and golden.
- In a large deep sided skillet set over medium heat, add the quinoa. Toss it around until it becomes aromatic and starts to pop, about 2-3 minutes. Add the stock and harissa paste. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to low, cover and leave to cook for about 15 - 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and fluff with a fork. Transfer the quinoa to a large serving dish and add the roasted vegetables and chickpeas. Season with salt and pepper and stir. Top with crumbled feta and fresh cilantro.
