Red quinoa is a seed mostly grown in Peru, Ecuador and a very good source of protein and dietary fiber. You can read more here, if interested. It is not easily available in India, as far as I know.
Now, since it is a new year, it is a beginning of a new adventure, so something new on the table too.
This is a simple veggie quinoa recipe, which can be eaten as is or I made an onion-tomato side to add to the flavors! I really loved the dish, a great lunch option. However, my non veg loving husband declared, it cannot be eaten just this way, so next time I plan to serve it with either grilled chicken breast or fish, for him.
For this you will need
1Cup - Red Quinoa ( cook as per instructions on the package)
2 -3 tspns - Olive oil
2 pods - Fine chopped Garlic
1 - Green Serrano Chili (slit)
1 tspn - grated Ginger
1/2 - Onion (fine chopped)
Mushrooms, French Beans, Carrots, Green Pepper - All diced small
Parsley, Oregano, Rosemary, Basil, Coriander - As much as you like
I used dried herbs except for coriander, fresh would be better.
Salt as you like it
2tspn - Lime Juice
Method -
Cook the quinoa in one pot. In the meantime, heat oil in another pan. Once hot, add the garlic, ginger and the green chill. Sauté till their aromas effuse. Then add the onions and mushrooms. Sauté till they are soft. Add the rest of the veggies, salt and herbs. Cook for a few minutes and turn off the heat. Now, once the quinoa is cooked, add to the veggie mixture and give it a good stir.
Take it off the heat and squeeze the lime. Serve hot.
