whenever i say quinoa, stacy repeats it right after me.
"keen-waaaah"
like that.
it's not funny, i don't know why she does it.
ingredients:
1 cup quinoa
handful raisins
1 cup broccoli
1/2 onion
2 cloves garlic
use a saucepan. heat up some olive oil, add onions, sautee til brown, add garlic, sautee some more, then salt & pepper it up.
add the quinoa, 2 cups water and bring to boil.
then simmer for a while til it is all cooked.
a while means 8-10 minutes.
stir and make sure it's not sticking to the bottom!
you know the quinoa's done when it starts looking edible and fluffy.
then add broccoli & raisins
cook til the broccoli is just tender.
salt some more if it's tasting bland.
but it won't be, unless you're not using kosher salt.
you should always use kosher salt.
i topped it off with a fried egg for protein and some more pepper.
simple but so nice! especially because i am a raisin person.
i love when raisins get all plump and squishy in my food.
later i was craving chocolate earl grey truffles but since i don't know how to make those, i made the tea version.
i experimented some and was pleased.
ingredients:
earl grey tea
chocolate powder
milk
it looked just like hot chocolate, but tasted so deep.
so earl-y. so grey.
i got caught up in drinking it and forgot to take a picture til it was halfway gone.
oh well.
I'm so pleased with your yummy liquid experiment. Please share some with me when you make some when you come back (that's a request and demand combonacion!). I want to make your extra simple quinoa pilaf right now -- sounds good any time of the day :)
ReplyDeleteGet a better theme. You know how I feel about these things.
Other than that, keep up the good work and I promise I'll try to comment more, you domestic, literary and romantic genius. <33
