Quinoa is the new big thing these days but I will confess that for the most part I don't really like it. This recipe is the exception. I could eat it everyday.
Quinoa Tabbouleh
3/4 cup of water (or chicken stock for more flavour)
1/2 cup quinoa
1 cup chopped parsley
1/4 cup chopped mint
3 green onions sliced
handful of grape/cherry tomatoes quartered
1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese
3 tbsp lemon juice (fresh is WAY better)
2 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1) Bring water (or stock) to boil and add in quinoa. Turn down heat to low and leave it until all the water is gone (around 15-18 minutes).
2) While the quinoa is cooking, chop the parsley, mint, green onions and tomatoes and add those to a medium sized bowl.
3) In small bowl, mix lemon juice, oil and salt and pepper. Set aside.
4) Once quinoa is cooked allow it to cool completely. I usually spread it on a plate and throw it in the fridge for 10 minutes or so.
5) When the quinoa is cooled mix everything together and enjoy!
Seriously, this recipe couldn't be easier and it is SO tasty.
