The pretty little jewel like seeds of pomegranate always cheer up a simple dish. Pomegranate molasses is now available in many shops and is thick and fragrant, a lovely tangy reduction of pomegranate juice, adding depth of flavour to many dishes. Quinoa is high in protein and this makes a nice satisfying lunchbox.
