Quinoa (keen-wa) serves up as a wonderful light side dish. It is very comparable to couscous as far as texture is concerned. You can make so many different recipes with this wonderful super grain. It's a great alternative to rice and cooks in about 1/2 the time.
Ingredients
1 tbsp organic coconut oil
1 cup uncooked quinoa
2 cups organic vegetable broth
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 dash fresh lemon juice (optional)
Preparation
1.Melt oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the quinoa, and toast, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
2.Stir in broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, or until quinoa is tender.
3.In a bowl, toss quinoa together with garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and onion. Sprinkle with lemon juice, and serve.
This side dish is light and full of amazing flavor. You will love this, I assure you.
Enjoy!!!
