Serves 10

Ingredients

Rolls

1 cup red/white quinoa, rinsed
Olive spray oil
1 tbsp soy sauce
Juice of 1/2 a lime
10 spring roll papers
1 cup cucumber
1 cup carrot
1 cup bell pepper
1 cup fresh coriander and mint

Dipping sauce

100g cashew butter
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 small red chilli, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 tbsp Natvia
Juice of 1/2 a lime

Method

1: Heat a small saucepan over medium heat, spray slightly with olive oil spray and add quinoa. Quickly toast for 2-3 minutes, then add 2 cups water, bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed and it’s light and fluffy in texture.
2: Prepare vegetables- julienne cucumber, carrot, and bell pepper.
3: Prepare cashew butter sauce by adding all sauce ingredients except water to a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Add enough hot water to thin until a pourable sauce is achieved.
4: Add 1 tbsp soy sauce + 1/2 lime juice to quinoa and toss to coat. Set aside.
5: To assemble spring rolls, pour very hot water into a shallow dish or skillet and immerse rice paper to soften for about 10-15 seconds.
6: Transfer to a damp cutting board or similar surface and gently spread out into a circle.
7: To the bottom third of the wrapper add a generous spoonful of quinoa, and layer carrots, capsicum, cucumber, and fresh herbs on top. Gently fold over once, tuck in edges, and continue rolling until seam is sealed.
8: Place seam-side down on a serving platter and cover with damp warm towel to keep fresh. Repeat until all fillings are used up – 10 spring rolls total.
9: Serve with cashew butter sauce, enjoy!
