This recipe comes from the back of a pack of Eden brand organic quinoa. I haven't made it, but it looks delicious. I would recommend using fresh pine nuts. I learned that if you use ones that have been sitting in the pantry a while you end up with a bitter taste at the back of your throat for days.
Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
1 1/4 cups water
1 tablespoon ume plum vinegar (to taste)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
1/3 cup scallion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh mint, finely chopped
1 cup cauliflower floret, blanched 2 minutes
1/4 cup diced carrot, blanched 1 minute
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil, then add quinoa. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 12 minutes. Let stand for five minutes, then fluff.
2. Toss in remaining ingredients and serve.
