Cooking with Quinoa
I didn't even know Quinoa existed until I stumbled upon it in my newest cookbook, Real Fresh Food - Healthy Meals For Busy People.
Quinoa is a cereal plant from the Andes which contains a balanced set of amino acids, making it a complete protein. Well, I had no idea and felt slightly gypped that living in North America I'd never heard about this protein from the south.
So I cooked my deep red Quinoa like rice and let it cool while I sliced up pear, feta cheese and red onion. After a quick toss with some olive oil, lemon juice and salt I was very surprised. This is a dish for kings.
Paired with some Lemon Fish, a cob of corn and a glass of Savuignon Blanc it made a perfect summer meal.
