I LOVE Quinoa. It is super high in Protein and amino acids. It is a great substitute for rice or pasta and is good with everything. I highly recommend trying it! This recipe is easy and delicious.
2 T. canola oil or butter
1 onion, 1/2 finely diced, 3/4 coarsly chopped
1 C. Quinoa, thoroughly rinsed
2 t. curry powder
salt and pepper
2 zucchini, diced into small cubes
1 C. carrot juice
1 C. peas
1/4 C. sliced scallions, including the greens
3/4 C. roasted salted cashews (I put more because we love nuts)
2 T. chopped cilantro
Heat half the oil in a small soup pot, add finely diced onion and cook over med, heat for about 3 minutes. Stir in the Quinoa, 1/2 t. curry powder and 1/4 t. salt and cook for 2 minutes. Add 2 C. boiling water then lower the heat. Cover and cook for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon oil in a large skillet. Add the chopped onion, zucchini, and remaining 1 1/2 t. curry powder. Cook, stirring frequently over med. heat for 5 minutes. Add 1/2 C. water, the carrot juice and 1/2 t. salt. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes, then add the peas, scallions and cook a few minutes more. Stir the vegetables and cashews into the quinoa. Taste for salt and season with pepper. garnish with cilantro.
