1 1⁄2 tbsp olive oil
1 large red onion, cut through the root into thin wedges
4 rosemary sprigs

100g cooking chorizo, sliced into 0.5cm-thick coins
2 x 250g packs ready-cooed quinoa
1 lemon, juice of 1⁄2 and 1⁄2 cut into wedges
90g pack wild rocket
1. Preheat the oven to 220oC, gas mark 7. Toss the squash with 1 tbsp oil in a large roasting tin and roast for 15 minutes. Lower the heat to 200oC, gas mark 6. Stir in the onion and rosemary, season and roast for a further 15 minutes.
2.Add the piquillo peppers and chorizo and roast for another 10 minutes. Stir everything in the tin, then scatter over the quinoa. Roast for 5 minutes, ensuring the chorizo is piping hot throughout, then stir through the lemon juice.
