Ingredients (Serves 4 as a side dish)
1 cup quinoa
2 tablespoons whole raw almonds
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 green onion chopped
1 tbsp goji berries (or raisins)
Salt (or Braggs) and pepper to taste
Method
- Place the quinoa in a sauce pan with 1 1/2 cups of water. Stir, bring to a boil, cover with a tight fitting lid, and turn the heat down to simmer for 15-20min (or until all the water has been absorbed by the grain)
- Meanwhile, in a small skillet or in toaster oven, toast the almonds over medium heat until lightly golden, about 3 minutes; remove from heat. Let cool then chop them.
- When the quinoa is ready, add the almonds, oil, green onion, goji, and cilantro. Season the mixture with salt and fluff with a fork.
