This
was my very first time using Quinoa (which I discovered is pronounced Keen-wah
and not as Quin + o +a). It is an
ancient grain that is supposed to be very good for you.
I
cooked up the quinoa as per the instructions on the packet – but of course,
being unable to follow instructions, I did change it up a bit by putting ½ a
lemon in with it while it was cooking.
When
the quinoa was cooled I added it to a salad made from:
Tiny
bit of onion finely chopped
Basil
leaves – torn
½
a red chili – de-seeded and finely chopped
A
spring onion (scallion or green onion) chopped
Some
quartered cherry tomatoes
¼
tsp of crushed garlic
I
just added a splash of neutral oil and a squeeze of the juice from the cooked
half lemon for a simple dressing – along with salt and pepper of course.
It
made a pleasant salad without being unforgettable.
Yummy, I love quinoa, I eat it like rice this way I won't be eating the carbs! Thanks for the récipe.
