Easy Quinoa Lunch Bowl
A really easy way to eat quinoa (pronounced Keen - Wa), makes an idea
alternative to sandwiches, just pop in a bowl with a lid for a vitamin
and protein rich, wheat free packed lunch.
(Makes 2 generous servings)
250g organic quinoa grain
325ml filtered water
half a teaspoon of Marigold vegan boullion
Choose a combination of any of the following:
6 tablespoons of organic mixed sprouts chick peas, lentils
etc. (buy ready sprouted or make your own)
4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh organic parsley (any
kind)
1 handful of soaked and chopped dulse sea vegetable
Five slices of organic smoked tofu with almonds and sesame seeds
cut into squares
1 tablespoon of organic pumpkin seeds
1 organic tomato chopped into cubes
1 organic avocado chopped into cubes
6cm length of organic cucumber cut into cubes
A few dashes of Sunita organic lemon juice or
organic tamari
A few dashes of Palastinian Olive oil or linseed
oil
Put the quinoa and boullion in a pan with a well fitting lid. Add the
water and bring to simmering point. Once the steam is rising put on the
lid and turn down the heat a little, leave to simmer gently for 20 minutes.
When the 20 minutes is up, stir in some or all the remaining ingredients,
allowing the heat from the quinoa to gently warm them. You can also drizzle
on homemade or shop bought tahini dressing.
Who said wheat free was boring?!
