So, I didn't get a pic of this one, as we were half way through it before we thought "ooo this is actually really nice, lets put it on the blog!"!!.... Hopefully I'll get a pic next time I make it. Turns out this is a great mid week meal, taking only around 20 min.
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- About 1/4 cup toasted almonds, bashed into pieces
- About 1-2 leaves kale (from the garden in my case), finely diced. You could use any greens (spinach, broccoli etc), but make sure you chop them finely.
- About 3-4 cups vege stock
Dressing
- 1 dried medium chilli, deseeded, finely diced
- Oil for frying, and about 2 Tbsp for the dressing
- 1/2-1 lemon
- 1/2 tsp crushed garlic
- Salt and Pepper
Rinse the quinoa, then cook in the stock on a medium heat for 15 min. Once the quinoa is on the go, make the dressing - fry the chilli and garlic in a bit of oil, then tip that into a jug, and add the lemon juice and olive oil. About 3 minutes before the quinoa is cooked, add the greens (to cook them aldente). Then drain the quinoa and greens, add in the almonds and dressing and mix well. Serve topped with parsley (or other fresh herbs), salt and pepper.
