Spiced Vegetables and Mixed Grains

I'm new to blogging recipes but this turned out well, I remembered to take photos and I've been asked to start a blog so I'm posting this one. I sometimes improvise and on this occasion it turned out so well my non-vegan husband wanted more! 
I chopped a large red onion, a couple of cloves of garlic, a red pepper and an orange pepper and cooked them in olive oil and sunflower oil. I added about a teaspoon of cumin seeds, a similar amount of coriander seeds, smoked sea salt and a dash of sweet chilli sauce. I'd have made it more spicy if it had just been for me. I then added some frozen mixed veg (peas, green beans, carrot and sweet corn) and a tin of chopped tomatoes. I then added a generous amount of dried mixed herbs. The final ingredient was a sachet of Merchant Gourmet's Grains, Red Rice & Quinoa Mix which consists of wheatberries, Camargue Red Rice, Green Wheat Freekeh, Black Barley and Quinoa. It's ready cooked so I just got my husband to heat it through in the microwave before I stirred it in. I checked the seasoning and added some more smoked sea salt, some agave syrup and some maple syrup.
The second photo shows it served with some small potatoes.There was plenty for my husband and I with enough left over to serve with jacket potatoes tomorrow.
