- pinch of black pepper
- 100 g breadcrumbs
- 15 ml vegetable oil

In a medium sized pot, cover the quinoa with water and cook for about 15 minutes.
Peel and roast the sweet potatoes with a bit of oil in a pre-heated oven at 160°C/320°F/gas mark 3 oven until they’re cooked (approximately 20 minutes).
Mash the potatoes and reserve.
Grate the beetroot and squeeze out any liquid.
