Some folks are put off by the price of quinoa, but by shopping around, you can find it at a reasonable price. I like to buy quinoa in the bulk bins, or sometimes a good deal on quinoa can be found in the rice section. Often quinoa in the "health" or "natural foods" section will be over-priced, so definitely look around for the better deal--it's out there!
Mediterranean Quinoa Recipe Ingredients :
1 cup QUINOA
2 cups SPINACH
10-15 CHERRY TOMATOES (sliced in halves)
3 cloves chopped GARLIC
½-1 cup FETA cheese
¼ cup fresh BASIL
1 med chopped ONION
1 Tbsp OLIVE OIL for sauteing the onion
1-2 Tbsp mild VINEGAR
SALT and PEPPER to taste
1 tsp dried HERBS (thyme, basil, oregano, etc.)
How to Make Mediterranean Quinoa :
Bring 2 cups of salted water to a boil.
Add 1 cup of quinoa (at this time also add any dried herbs). Cover and let simmer 15 minutes, until the water is absorbed.
While the quinoa cooks, saute the onions and garlic.
Once the quinoa is cooked, remove from the heat and--while the quinoa is still hot--stir in the spinach and basil until wilted, and add the onion and garlic.
Let Quinoa cool about 10 minutes, and then stir in the cherry tomatoes, vinegar, feta cheese, and extra salt and pepper as desired.
Serve warm or cold, it's tasty either way.
Give this Mediterranean quinoa salad recipe a try and let me know what you think, and bon appétit!
