Enjoy!!<BR/><BR/>Walnut Rosemary Quinoa<BR/><BR/> 1 Tbsp sesame oil<BR/> ½ small onion<BR/> ¾ c quinoa (This is a small, round grain that you can find in bulk at Community Natural Foods or Planet Organic. It has a nutty taste, is high in fiber and is a complete protein. Before cooking, it needs to be rinsed, a small sieve works well; I got mine from Ikea.)<BR/> ½ small red pepper diced<BR/> 1 ½ c water, room temperature<BR/> ½ Tbsp soy sauce or natural substitute (again, Bragg’s is great)<BR/> ¼ tsp dried rosemary<BR/> ½ c frozen and thawed peas<BR/> ½ s raw walnuts, chopped<BR/><BR/>o Preheat oven to 350°F.<BR/>o Heat oil in medium sauce pan, add onion and quinoa. Sauté over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 3 mins. Add pepper and sauté an additional 2 mins.<BR/>o Add water, soy sauce and, rosemary. Bring to a boil and cover. Simmer for 15 mins or until water is absorbed.<BR/>o Meanwhile, roast walnuts on a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper at 350°F for 5-7 mins. Remove from oven.<BR/>o When quinoa is cooked, turn off heat and mix in walnuts and peas. Let sit and additional 10 mins and serve.<BR/>o Serves 2-3, does not freeze well.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09011251298766042182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739278362553454729.post-82396792979195308632008-07-09T15:57:00.000-07:002008-07-09T15:57:00.000-07:00Hi!

I have never been able to get into polenta, so I will keep an eye on your menu for a good recipe. There is a terrific recipe for Pineapple-cashew-quinoa in Veganomicon...not exactly budget saving, but tasty! We will also eat it in place of couscous in a cold black bean/grain/ cilantro/pepper salad.alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08959526591693906826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739278362553454729.post-62932265782062725892008-07-08T07:26:00.000-07:002008-07-08T07:26:00.000-07:00The tortilla casserole sounds good!
