Very simple, healthy and delicious meal. If you like quinoa, you'll love this. I've brought it to many potlucks; it always gets positive remarks. I sometimes leave out the red onion for those you don't like uncooked onions. Be creative with this recipe. You can add or subtract any veggies. Ingredients:
2 cups quinoa |
2 cups water or 2 cups vegetable broth |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar |
2 teaspoons curry powder |
1/4 teaspoon turmeric |
1/2 teaspoon sea salt |
1 teaspoon black pepper |
1/2 cup grated carrot |
1/2 cup grated zucchini |
1/2 cup chopped parsley |
1/2 cup cranberries or 1/2 cup raisins |
1/4 cup blanched sliced almonds |
3 scallions, chopped |
1/4 cup diced red onion |
Directions:
1. Place quinoa in medium bowl and soak for at least 1 hour, then drain liquid.
2. Boil water or broth and add quinoa, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
3. In a blender add olive oil, vinegar, curry, turmeric, sea salt, and pepper.
4. Pour this onto the cooked quinoa. Add grated vegetables, parsley, almonds, raisins, scallions and red onions; mix well and taste for seasonings.
5. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy.
