Pina Colada Quinoa Stirfry

We’re channelling all the summer vibes with this tasty tropical dish! It may look fancy served in a pineapple boat but don’t be fooled, sans the styling it’s actually super quick and easy to make, and a brilliant light week-night dinner, perfect for using up any leftover cooked chicken, but also relish as a vegetarian meal.
