QUINOA PILAF
Its late. I don't want to sleep so what do I do? I cook!
This has to be good for you even though it tastes great. Its Popeye approved with lots of spinach!
This is a fabulous side dish instead of potatoes.
Ingredients for Vegetable Stock:
2 generous handfuls of baby spinach chopped
2 generous handfuls of fresh kale chopped
2 celery stalks chopped
1 onion chopped
2 cloves of garlic chopped
1 inch of fresh ginger chopped
16 roasted almonds chopped
2 TBS Sriracha sauce
2 TBS oregano
1/2 tsp Lawry's Season Salt (optional)
2 cups water
It all goes in a covered pot. Bring it to a boil. Turn the heat down and let it simmer covered for 30 min.
Save the liquid. That's your vegetable stock.
In the same pot, bring your stock back to a boil. Add 1 cup of Quinoa and reduce the heat to a simmering boil. Cover it and cook for 25 min. then let it cool for 5 min.
Mix it all together and serve hot! Garnish with your favorite veggies.
It contains no oil and has tons of flavor! What could be better?
