The other night my mother and I made Quinoa! It was, easy to make, fun to make, and made for a good meal! This is the first post I have where I will post a recipe, so listen up!
To make this, you will need:
2 cloves of garlic
half of a ginger root (sounds like a lot, but, is only a little)
6 sweet red and yellow peppers
1 cup chopped parsley
4 green onions (just the white part)
one cucumber
one box of quinoa (we used inca red)
vegetable broth (instead of water)
olive oil (optional)
one lemon
serving bowl
First, prep your ingredients. Crush the garlic, and finely mince. Mince parsley until fine, or place in glass and use scissors to mince. Chop the cucumber (after peeling) in small centimeter wide cubes, and chop the peppers in a similar size. Take a spoon, or knife, but I prefer spoon, and peel the ginger, by pressing down on the skin with the spoon, and scraping it along the side. Then, finely mince the ginger. When you put in your quinoa, there should be instructions on the packet of quinoa, based on what type you have. But, my mom likes to substitute vegetable broth instead of water, so when the instructions say water, use veggie broth. Once all your ingredients are prepared, put them all in a large glass bowl and mix them! You can add olive oil if you like, about 3 tablespoons in, add some salt, and squeeze you lemon juice in! Serve and enjoy!
This tangy dinner is yummy, and easy to make! I hope you try this out, and have fun making it.
