First, let me say sorry for not having updated the blog in so long! I have been super busy and when I am done for the night and tucked into bed I tend to fall asleep in a matter of minutes. My intentions have been good though!
Now for some cooking ideas, I know this is usually made using bulgur but I try to stick to as much gluten free as possible. Now this is an incredible dish best served cold, so it is perfect for summers ( if you live in the southern hemisphere) but super as a stable fridge addition for when you want something to quickly eat or serve with a newly roasted chicken ( like I did last night ).
Just try this you will never go back!
Incredible Qunioa Power Salad
1 cup uncooked quinoa
1 3/4 water
1 whole pomegranate seeds
Lots of Flat leaf parsely
Lots of Fresh Mint
Feta 200 g
1 Yellow Chilli
Tbs Olive Oil
Cook the quinoa, remember to wash and drain it properly. Rinse it under cold water for a while using a fine mesh strainer. Then add the water and cook till all the water has been absorbed. Then put a piece of kitchen towel between the lid and the saucepan and let stand with heat off for 5-10 mins. Fluff with a fork afterwards.
Let cool and add to a bowl, chop the parsley and mint add as much as you like. I added more parsley than mint but lots of both. Then add the finely chopped yellow chilli, and pomegranate seeds, and cut the feta into small cubes. Combine it all, and add olive oil, salt & pepper to taste as well as lemon!
Yum! Enjoy... I am obsessed with this right now.
