Found this recipe on the back of the red quinoa box. I altered it a bit. I do not tend to like things like vinegar and wine as they just do not agree with me. You could add 1/2 c of Marsala wine at the end of cooking.
Servings: 4-5
Ingredients:
1 c. of washed red quinoa
1 & 3/4 c of water or broth
pinch of sea salt if you use water
pepper
chilli powder
1 T. olive oil
2 shallots or a little onion
1 tsp basil or dried cilantro
1 c. mushrooms
1 c. of veggies of choice (I used carrots and asparagus)
3/4 c. beans (I used kidney)
1/4 c. fresh cilantro, parlsey or basil
Tamari to taste
lemon wedges
slightly toasted sesame seeds and/or pecans (about 1 heaping T. per person)
Directions:
Cook the first 6 ingredients until nearly cooked (tender) in a skillet along with any desired dry herbs and spices. Set aside. Add gently cooked onion and hard veggies in a little oil of choice (coconut or olive) in another pot. Then add mushrooms and cooked beans. Mix both together. Add sauce of choice or Tamari to flavour a little more. Add fresh herbs. Plate. Lemon juice, nuts, seeds.
