Yes yes...I'm a little stuck on the quinoa. It's just..so much less boring than brown rice. Or oatmeal. Or all those other "good for you" grains one was raised on. Oh, and it cooks much faster, thus making it a favorite of this anti-microwave person. (I don't believe in tempting cancer to strike for the convenience of quick cooking.)
Summer Sweet Pea Pesto Quinoa
1/2 cup dry quinoa + 1 cup water
1 package Simply Organic Pesto Mix
1 can sweet peas
1 can mushrooms or 1/2 cup chopped fresh
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
1/2 cup diced avocado
2 Tbl nutritional yeast
Sea salt, cayenne pepper
1. Rinse quinoa and prepare. Fluff.
2. Saute onions and mushrooms until golden.
3. Drain peas, reserving juice.
4. Whisk pesto mix (or put in container and shake vigorously) and liquid from the peas until homogeneous.
5. Toss together all ingredients except for avocado, and let rest at least an hour for flavors to absorb. (I like to chill mine in the fridge and serve as a cold salad.)
6. Add avocado and season with salt and cayenne pepper to serve.
