77g pack smoked diced pancetta
½ orange, scrubbed, zest and juice

Cook the quinoa in a large saucepan of boiling water according to pack instructions, then add the frozen broad beans for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Meanwhile, fry the pancetta in a small nonstick pan for 5-7 minutes on high, until crisp and golden. Remove from the heat and stir in the orange zest and juice and lemon juice.
Drain the quinoa and beans, then transfer to a large serving platter. Gently tumble with the parsley, chicory leaves and lentils.
Top with the avocado and cucumber. Spoon over the pancetta dressing and scatter with the chillies. Serve warm.
