Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

Salt

1 1/3 cups quinoa -- rinsed thoroughly

2 large mangoes

1 jalapeño chile -- seeded and diced

3 scallions -- thinly sliced

including an inch of the greens

Curry Vinaigrette

(see separate recipe)

1/3 cup almonds -- roasted

 

Serves 4

 

Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a saucepan, then add 1/2 teaspoon salt and

the quinoa. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender,

12 to 15 minutes. Drain.

 

Cut the mangoes: Stand each one upright and slice down either side of the

seed, which you can't see but which runs lengthwise through the center of

the fruit. Score the two pieces, then bend the skin. Cut off the squares

of mango where they attach to the skin.

 

Toss the quinoa with the mangoes, chile, scallions, and vinaigrette. Chop

the almonds and add them last so that they'll stay crisp.
