Ingredients

  • 2 Florida Grapefruit
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 200 g white or blond quinoa
  • 1 bunch green asparagus
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 small bunch radishes
  • 1 small shallot
  • 1 spring onion
  • 1 bunch dill

For the Dressing:

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 pinch smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper

Instruction

  1. Zest one grapefruit. Segment both grapefruit and collect the juice from the membranes. Set aside.
  2. Boil a large pot of water. Add the quinoa when the water boils and cook for 12 minutes. Drain and leave to drain for about 10 minutes.
  3. In another pot, boil water, and add the asparagus. Cook on medium heat for about 7 minutes. Check doneness with the tip of a knife. Drain and set aside.
  4. In a pan with a little olive oil, brown the chicken for about 10 minutes on each side. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Preheat the oven to 170°C fan heat. Mix two thirds of the grapefruit juice with half of the zest and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Spread the quinoa loosely in a baking dish and pour the mixture over it. Bake for 10 minutes, stir, then bake for another 10 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. Dice the radishes and cucumber into very small cubes. Finely chop the shallot, dill, and spring onion.
  8. Mix the quinoa with the vegetables, herbs, and grapefruit segments.
  9. Make the dressing by mixing the remaining grapefruit juice with the vinegar, remaining zest, olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  10. Serve.
