VEGGIE QUINOA

Recipe by Rhianna

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup of quinoa

2 cups of seasonal vegetables (I like kale, swiss chard, zucchini, summer squash and carrots)

1 TBL of fresh ginger chopped finely

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon turmeric

1/4 cup cilantro

1 stick of kombu or wakame flakes (seaweed high in minerals)

PROCESS

Cook quinoa according to package, adding ginger, spices and your choice of seaweed. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and then set aside.

Heat a deep heavy bottomed pot and add a splash of water

Add greens and vegetables and sauté until slightly tender. Be careful not to overcook your vegetables, or it removes so many nutrients!!

Serve in a large bowl adding the cooked veggies and quinoa. Generously sprinkle some chopped cilantro on top to finish. Great for detoxifying the body!

You can also add a simple dressing whisking together tahini, apple cider vinegar and olive oil.

If you prefer, you can just add a dash of coconut aminos and olive oil to give the meal some quick flavor and good healthy fats.

Feel free to use the Raw Thai Dressing or Raw Cashew Cheese recipes, or even the Raw Basil Pesto or Raw Pumpkin Seed Hummus.
