Prawn & Quinoa Bowl with Avocado, Asparagus and Mango Flavour Pearls

Prawn & Quinoa Bowl with Avocado, Asparagus and Mango Flavour Pearls

A salad that’s fresh and light so perfect for lunch or hot weather entertaining. This is a dish that can easily be adapted to what you have handy and what you enjoy eating, so feel free to change the ingredients. Personally I could eat prawns all day long!

If you love chicken…add some grilled or smoked chicken instead of the prawns. Vegetarians…add some nutty grilled tempeh or a soft boiled egg. Snow peas would be a nice substitute if Asparagus is out of season. You get the idea. Read more

Home made pasta is a real treat.

We’ve kept ours flavoursome and light with wilted greens and zesty olive oil instead of a heavy sauce. The sweetness of roast pumpkin and caramelized onion are balanced beautifully with goats cheese. Native Bush Tomato Flavour Pearls add a surprising burst of fresh flavour with every mouthful. Yes making pasta can get a little messy but it’s so worth it! Read more
