If something was approved by NASA it means that it must be
extraordinary. I can imagine astronauts saying “Oh no! Not quinoa again!” Or...
seeing them when they’re trying to catch those little grains in a state of
weightlessness ;). I tried quinoa for the first time couple month ago.
Surprising taste. Something between boiled wheat and boiled millet but with
different texture. Process of boiling causes that quinoa splits into little
grains and small pieces that look like noodles in mini version.
Ingredients
- 225 g of quinoa
- 2 medium apples (red)
- 100 g of pecans
- 1 orange pepper
- 200 g of snow pea
- 100 ml of lemon juice
- Black pepper
- Salt
- 3 tbsp spoons of olive oil
- 750 ml of water
Bring to boil 500 ml (2 cups) of water in saucepan. Add
quinoa and allow to simmer for 15 minutes until water is completely absorbed.
Leave it for another 5 minutes covered with lid and then place it in cold place
to cool down. Wash and core apples. Chop them into cubes (diameter around 1,5).
Place them in water with lemon juice for couple of minute to prevent browning.
Chop pepper into this same size of cubes as apples. Chop snow peas into diamond
shape. Grill pecans on a pan. Combine quinoa, vegetables, pecans and apples in
large bowl adding salt pepper and olive oil. Serve immediately.
