The man and I are making an attempt to eat less meat, so to that end we are trying to include 1-2 meatless dinners per week.
I found this recipe for curried quinoa at this site:
http://www.quinoa-recipes.com/
We both think it is pretty tasty, and really isn’t that much work.
Ingredients:
1/2 c Quinoa
1 c Water
1 1/2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
1/2 c Diced Onion
1 tsp grated Fresh Ginger Root
Fresh Green Chile (finely chopped)
1/2 tsp Turmeric
1/2 tsp Coriander
1/8 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 c frozen Peas
Directions:
1.Place oil and diced onions in a heavy saucepan. Saute the onions on medium high heat for four to five minutes.
2.Add the ginger root, chile, and quinoa. Cook for one minute stirring constantly.
3.Stir in the turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, and salt. Cook for one minute stirring constantly.
4.Add the water and bring it to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.
5.Stir in peas. Cover and cook for four or five minutes or until peas are tender and all the water has been absorbed.
We’ve had it twice now. I usually don’t have fresh chiles around, so both times we have not included those. Also the recipe on the site calls for salt, and we always omit extra salt when we are cooking.
