So the weather took a horrible turn today. My morning also took a horrible turn. I'm suppose to be out the door at 8:30 am...well I rolled over this morning at 8:29 a.m. Needless to say I scooted out the door in a darn tootn hurry. It also didn't help matters much either that there was giant snow storm on its way. When it came to making dinner tonight making a trip to the grocery store was not on my list of things to do. I had a jar of quinoa (kweenwa) that I had been meaning to find some use for. This recipe turned out just OK....maybe sitting up over night and adding some cumin to it will give it more depth. The recipe came from the site listed below but I made just a few tweaks.
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Quinoa-Side-Dish/Detail.aspxQuinoa Side Dish:
1.) In a sauce pan melt 1 TBS of unsalted butter.
2.) Add 1 cup of quinoa and toast for 5 minutes on medium heat. Stir occasionally.
3.) Stir in 2 cups of vegetable broth, 1 small onion finely diced and 3 cloves of garlic minced.
4.) Bring this to a boil, reduce the heat to simmer, cover and cook for about 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.
5.) Toss the quinoa with 1/4 lemon juiced, 1/4 tsp of sea salt, fresh or dried parsley and thyme to taste.
