- What does blanching mean?
- Short pre-cooking in boiling water, then sudden cooling. This preserves the colour, texture and vitamin content of vegetables.
- Can I use other grains?

Instructions
Rinse the quinoa with hot water, then cook in salted water for approx. 15 minutes.
Separate the broccoli into florets. Boil water, add salt. Put the broccoli in for 2-3 minutes.
Remove the broccoli into a bowl of ice water (or rinse with ice-cold tap water).
In a frying pan, sauté the chopped onion in oil until translucent. Add the garlic, ginger, curry and turmeric. Fry together.
Pour in the coconut milk, simmer for 5 minutes until thickened. This will be the curry base.
In a separate small bowl, mix the tahini with the lime juice and a little water until it has the consistency of a dressing.
Toss the broccoli in the warm coconut curry sauce. Serve on the quinoa, drizzled with the lime tahini, sprinkled with sesame seeds.
