It seems lately that everyone is talking about Quinoa, and I thought I would throw in my 2 cents. I first heard of quinoa (pronounced keen wa) when I saw a naturopath in 1996! Back then you had to go to a specialty store to pick some up. For me that was the Carrot Common, I felt all out of sorts buying and cooking it, but I was attempting to go gluten free. Now you can get it at Costco. But fret not it is still a virtuous grain, and don’t feel weird about eating it, it’s good for you and it’s pretty tasty too.
This recipe is my take on Quinoa Taboule found on the back of the Bobs Red Mill package.
2 cups cooked quinoa
1 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup chopped green onions
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint
1 glove minced garlic
1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
fresh pepper
toss all ingredients together and let it rest for an hour or overnight to allow flavours to mix.
