I get it - someone else puts it in the files. OK here it is

 

Quinoa gourmet delight (vegan)

 

Ingredients

 

100g (3.5 ounces) Quinoa

100g (3.5 ounces) Camargue red rice (or basmati)

small onion chopped

4 tablespoons of olive oil including for frying – drizzle rest over

zest of one orange

juice of one orange

1 teaspoon lemon juice

one garlic clove, crushed

2 spring onions, thinly sliced

50g (2 ounces) dried apricots, chopped (non-sulphured – ie brown not

yellow)

30g (1.5 ounces) pistachio nuts, lightly roasted and chopped

handful of rocket leaves

pepper and herb or sea salt to taste

 

Bring to boil two saucepans filled with water (salted if you wish,

but I don't for keeping my blood pressure down reasons and it tastes

perfectly well).Simmer the rice for 22 mins and the quinoa for 13

mins then drain and allow to cool.

 

Fry the onion until golden brown. Allow to cool in a bowl. Mix the

cooked grains with all the other ingredients and add any seasoning.

Serve at room temperature.

 

Once I salivated so much and my stomach rumbling made me eat it while

it was still warm to hot. It was delicious that way too!

the

info there it would help :)

Hi Pat,

 

those ingredients are to serve two. But to be honest, and maybe because

I used Quinoa flakes, the quntity would have easily served four -

especially slimmers.

 

 

Apparently Camargue wholegrain rice adds a nutty flavour, ad is packed

with essential fibres, vitamins and antioxidants.

 

But I haven't found any in my local grocer so until I go to France

again, any risotto rice would have to do.

 

Cheers

 

Geoff
