QUINOA PILAF

1/2 cup carrot, diced

6 cups quinoa, cooked (basic recipe)

1/2 cup green onion, diced

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup celery, diced

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1/4 cup green pepper, diced

1 cup almonds, sliced

1/4 cup sweet red pepper, diced

1/4 tsp oregano

 

salt to taste

 

Saute chopped vegetables in olive oil until clear, yet crisp: stir in

oregano. Add sauteed vegetables to cooked, hot quinoa, mixing well.

Add salt to taste. Dry-roast almonds in heavy sillet until lightly

golden. Add almonds and mix. Serves 6-8.

 

Quinoa pilaf served as a side dish with fish or chicken is delicious.

Vary the pilaf using your favorite vegetables, or by cooking the

quinoa in chicken, fish or vegetable stock instead of water.
