This has become one of my stand-by's. It's so easy to make, delicious cold, and its the quintessential "whole food" - everything is in its real and perfect form. I love adding this to any buddha bowl with cabbage, avocado, or just simply by itself. You can even hide some of it in some steaming veggie broth and call it a soup.
I also love that it fulfills many different tastes - sweet raisins, earthy pumpkin seeds, a pinch of sea salt, and a nice kick from the spices. My Ayurveda gurus would be proud.
1 cups quinoa
1.5 cups water
small piece of kombu
In a pot, heat the quinoa, water and kombu until boiling. Lower the heat and cover, cooking until
all the water has absorbed, about 20 minutes or so. Let it sit on the stove until cool.
Fluff with a fork. Add
in:
Small handful organic
raisins
Small handful raw or
toasted pumpkin seeds
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon smoked
paprika (optional)
Couple shakes of
chipotle powder (optional)
About ½ cup chopped
cilantro (optional)
Sea salt, to taste
Mix well and
enjoy.
This was really yummy. Fixed it tonight and hubby liked it too. I used the red quinoa, but otherwise it's the same as above. Thanks for the great recipe!
