Method

  1. Warm the sliced garlic in the oil until it just turns gold, then stir in the harissa for 30 seconds.
  2. Add the passata with the beans and let it bubble 8 minutes, crushing some of the beans against the pan, until the sauce coats a spoon.
  3. Wilt the spinach through in handfuls. Spoon over the quinoa, fry the breadcrumbs golden in a dry pan and scatter them over with the lemon juice and parsley.
Chef’s tipCrush a third of the beans against the pan; their starch turns the oil and tomato into a sauce that clings instead of running off.
KeepKeeps 3 days chilled. Freezes 2 months in single portions. Warm in a covered pan over low heat with a spoon of water. Keep the crumbs in a separate airtight container or they soften.
SwapNo harissa? Tomato paste with smoked paprika and red pepper flakes.
Pack itReheats in two minutes. Take the breadcrumbs in a twist of paper.
