Cut the beetroot and Spanish onions into equal 'bite size' segments, coat with the olive oil, thyme, salt and pepper. Spread onto a baking tray and roast for 30 minutes in the middle of the oven. Turn over once whilst cooking.
Cook quinoa in 2 cups of water and stock, bring to the boil and then simmer for 15 – 20 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed.
Toast the pecans in a fry pan and olive oil for a few minutes over a low heat.
Mix the quinoa, beetroot, onion, cheese and parsley and add salt and pepper to taste. Top with the pecan nuts.
