Quinoa (KEEN-wah) is not only high in fiber but also higher in protein than any other grain. Millet, usually found in health-food stores, is a tiny, delicate grain that is also rich in protein. Ingredients:
cooking spray |
1/4 cup minced fresh onion |
1 cup uncooked basmati rice |
1/2 cup uncooked millet |
1/2 cup uncooked quinoa |
2 cups water |
1 cup apple juice |
1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick |
1 cup diced peeled granny smith apple (about 1 pound) |
1/2 cup raisins |
1/2 cup sliced green onions |
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper |
1/3 cup light mayonnaise |
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 teaspoons curry powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Place a 6-quart pressure cooker coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion, and saute 1 minute. Add rice, millet, and quinoa, and saute 30 seconds. Stir in water, apple juice, and cinnamon stick. Close lid securely, and bring to high pressure over medium-high heat (about 4 minutes). Adjust heat to low or level needed to maintain high pressure, and cook 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and place pressure cooker under cold running water. Let stand 7 minutes, and remove lid. Discard cinnamon stick; fluff mixture with a fork. Spoon mixture into a large bowl; cool 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the diced apple and remaining ingredients. Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature.
