Pomegranate, Nut, and Green Herb Quinoa
Serves:
2
Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked Quinoa
1/2 small Red Onion, (finely chopped)
1 small Garlic Clove, (minced)
1 tspn. Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1 1/2 tbls. Hummus
Maldon (or other flaky salt)
Freshly ground Black Pepper
Juice of 1 to 2 Lemons
1/2 cup Macadamia Nuts, (toasted)
2 cups sliced Almonds, (toasted)
1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted
1 1/2 cups Pomegranate Seeds
1 handful Fresh Dill, (roughly chopped (no big stems)
1 handful Fresh Flat-leaf Parsley Leaves, (roughly chopped)
1 small handful Fresh Mint Leaves, (roughly chopped)
Procedures:
1. Prepare the quinoa according to the
package directions.
2.
While the quinoa is cooking, combine the onion, garlic,
olive oil, and hummus in a large glass bowl.
3.
Drain the quinoa and put it back in the pot. Stir it over
low heat for a couple of minutes to steam off some of
the excess water.
4.
Add the quinoa to the glass bowl, season with salt and
pepper, and add the lemon juice.
5.
Loosely cover the mixture and let it sit until it comes
to room temperature. If you are not serving immediately,
refrigerate and bring to room temperature before serving.
6.
When you're ready to serve, mix the nuts, pomegranate
seeds, and herbs with the quinoa and toss with your hands.
Check the seasoning. Remember, when food sits for awhile,
especially in the fridge, the cold tones down the seasoning,
so add a bit more lemon, salt, or pepper if you need to.
