My first introduction to quinoa. A very good recipe that I make frequently. The serving size is estimated.... Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa |
2 cups water |
1 -2 medium tomato, cut into cubes |
1 medium onions or 6 green onions, finely chopped |
1 medium cucumber, peeled and cut into cubes |
1 small green pepper, seeded and cut into 1/2 inch cubes (opti) |
1 bunch parsley, finely chopped |
1 cup fresh mint, finely chopped or 1 teaspoon dried mint |
1/3 cup lemon juice |
1/3 cup olive oil |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon sea salt |
pepper |
Directions:
1. Put the quinoa in a wire strainer and thoroughly rinse with hot water to remove any bitter flavor.
2. In a medium saucepan, bring the water and quinoa to a boil over high heat.
3. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes.
4. Let cool completely.
5. Stir the tomatoes, onion, cucumber and parsley into the quinoa.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, oil, garlic and salt.
7. Pour over the quinoa and toss well.
8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
