Ingredients

• 200g quinoa (allow 8 hours for soaking)

• 1 tsp oregano, dried

• 1 tsp mixed herbs, dried

• salt

Topping Ideas

Method

1. Soak the quinoa in a large bowl with water overnight or for about eight hours in water.

2. Pre-heat the oven to 190C.

3. Drain the quinoa and transfer it to a blender, add herbs and salt.

4. Blend for a few mins until a smooth dough forms. It should look a bit like pancake mix. You may need to add a splash of water.
