a Quinoa recipe

[Guest guest]

I cooked a wonderful recipe this evening.

 

Warn Quinoa Salad with Toasted Almonds

 

1/1/2 cup quinoa

2 1/2 cups water

2 Tbs tamari or braggs

1 Tbs rice vinegar

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tstp grated peeled fresh ginger

2 green onions thinly sliced diagonally

1/4 cup sliced natural almonds, toasted

 

 

 

take quinoa and put it in a skillet on high for about 5 minutes to toast it.

 

Then add water into the toasted quinoa. Heat to boiling on high and reduce

heat to low. cover and simmer for approx 15 minutes until all of the water

is absorbed.

 

While the quinoa is cooking use a small bowl to stir together tamari or

Braggs, rice vinegar, 1 sesame oil, grated peeled fresh ginger and green

onions

..

 

Transfer the quinoa to a large serving bowl and stir in the soy sauce

mixture until the quinoa is evenly coated. Sprinkle with sliced almonds .

 

Modification:

 

This evening I didn't have any green onions so I threw half of a chopped red

onion into the quinoa when I added the water so that both ingredients cooked

together.

 

I also added some shredded raw spinach to the soy sauce mix to add some

green. It wilted when I poured it into the hot quinoa and the dish tasted

great

this way too. I didn't have sliced raw almonds so I toasted some of my whole

almonds, crushed them and sprinkled them over the top.

 

 

The dish was a hit with my kids and husband.

 

Hope your family loves it too.
