Cook the quinoa. Place the grains in a saucepan and cover with 250ml of salted water. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 10 - 15 minutes until the water has been absorbed and the grain is soft. Drain and reserve.

Make the cauliflower rice. Chop the cauliflower into manageable florets and put into a blender. Whiz until the cauliflower appears crumb like. Place the cauliflower into a deep pan over a medium heat and add around 30 ml of water and the cumin. Cover and cook for around 5 minutes until the cauliflower has softened. Remove from the heat and reserve.

Zest and juice the lemon, then finely slice the spring onions and mint. Reserve some of the mint and onions for garnish, then mix the quinoa, spring onions, mint and lemon juice and zest into the cauliflower rice. Once combined well, season with salt and pepper to taste.

Halve and slice the onions. Add the sunflower oil to a frying pan over a medium-high heat, pour in the chopped onions along with the sugar. Fry for 5 - 7 minutes until the onions are golden and caramelized. Once cooked, serve the rice with the onions heaped over the top and garnished with the reserved mint and spring onions.
