Firstly, get the quinoa cooked and out of the

quinoa to five parts water, so do this (unless

then simmer super-gently until the water
has absorbed.
Next, you have two options with the
beetroot and carrot. If you have a Spiral
Slicer use this to make carrot and beetroot
spirals, but if not then you will want to grate
them with a standard cheese grater into a
bowl. Once grated, press with some kitchen
roll/towel to get rid of some of the excess
moisture.
