Hi everyone, my name is Linley and I am a new member. I have been

reading all the posts and have already picked up some wonderful tips

and recipes. I enclose my favourite quinoa recipe which is well

loved by vegetarians and non-vegos alike. Look forward to learning

more and more. Kindest regards Linley

The crisp tang of fresh limes is great with the spicy curry flavour

in this Indian-style salad. Quinoa is packed with carbs and complete

proteins that are so good you're left happily stuffed - and

energised.

 

Quinoa Lime Biryani Salad

Serves four

 

2 limes

1 cup dry quinoa

1¼ cup water

3 tbs extra-virgin olive oil

1¼ tsp curry powder (see TIP)

¾ tsp salt

285g shredded carrots

1 cup unsalted tinned chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1½ cups thinly sliced spring onions

¼ cup sliced almonds, toasted

¼ cup sultanas

½ tsp pepper

 

Finely grate one lime for 1½ tsp zest, then juice both limes.

 

In a saucepan, combine 3 tbs lime juice, quinoa, water, 1 tbs olive

oil, curry powder, and ½ tsp salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat,

cover and simmer for 15 to 20 & #8239;minutes or until quinoa is transparent

and liquid is absorbed. Cool and transfer to a large bowl.

 

Add carrots, chickpeas, onions, almonds and sultanas. Toss.

 

In a bowl, combine ¬remaining lime juice, zest, remaining oil, ¼ tsp

salt and ½ tsp pepper. Whisk well to blend. Pour over quinoa mixture

and toss. Divide evenly into four bowls.
