Grains - Quinoa - -

INGREDIENTS

6 cups water
3 cups quinoa, well rinsed
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup red capsicum, destemmed, deseeded, and diced
1 cup orange capsicum, destemmed, deseeded, and diced
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
2 cups cut corn
2 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 cup green onions, sliced
1/2 cup black olives, sliced
1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

METHOD

In a saucepan, place the water and bring to a boil. Add the quinoa, cover, reduce the heat to very low, and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until tender. Drain off excess water, transfer to a bowl, and fluff with a fork.

Meanwhile in a non-stick skillet, cook the pumpkin seeds over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until toasted. Transfer the toasted pumpkin seeds to a bowl and set aside. In the same non-stick skillet, saute the red and orange capsicum in 1 tablespoon olive oil, for 3 minutes. Add the corn and garlic, and saute an additional 3 minutes. Add the green onions and saute for 1 minute. Add the sauteed vegetables, reserved pumpkin seeds, and the remaining ingredients to the quinoa, and toss well to combine. Serve warm.

Makes 10 cups.
