    1 In a medium saucepan, cook quinoa according to packet instructions. Drain if needed and set aside.

    2 Steam or microwave pumpkin and sweet potato until tender. Set aside and keep warm.

    3 Meanwhile, place a large chargrill pan over a high heat. Cook apple and zucchini for 2 minutes, turning once, or until just tender and golden. Transfer into a large, heatproof bowl and set aside.

    4 Reduce heat to medium. Cook pork for 10 minutes, turning occasionally or until golden and cooked to your liking. Transfer pork to a heatproof board and rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

    5 To apple mixture, add pumpkin seeds, feta, spring onions and quinoa, and stir to combine. Gently stir through sweet potato and pumpkin. Season with pepper. Serve apple quinoa topped with pork.

    HFG tip

    Fruit adds a sweet, fresh twist to dishes. As the season warms up, try using nectarines, peaches or plums.
