LATIN QUINOA



Latin Quinoa image

Quinoa is a delicately flavored grain that was a staple in the ancient Incas' diet and is available in most natural-food stores and the natural-food section of most supermarkets. It can be bought pre-packaged or in bulk. Toasting the grain before cooking enhances the flavor and rinsing removes the bitter protective coating. Unlike wheat or rice (which are low in lysine), quinoa contains a balanced set of essential amino acids for humans, making it an unusually complete protein source. This is my adjusted version of a recipe I found on EatingWell.com, from December 2005. It's a healthy, low-fat vegetarian dish with a nice mix of spice, textures, and flavors. Hot it up with some red pepper flakes if you prefer!

Time 45m

Yield 8 2/3 cup servings, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup quinoa, toasted
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 medium onion, fine dice
1 medium red bell pepper, fine dice
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups low sodium vegetable broth (can sub chicken broth if you prefer)
1/4 cup roasted pumpkin seeds (Pepitas)
3/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro or 1 -2 tablespoon dried cilantro
1/2 cup chopped scallion
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher sea salt

Steps:

  • Toast quinoa in a large dry non-stick skillet over medium heat, stirring until it crackles and becomes aromatic, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer quinoa to a fine sieve and rinse thoroughly, until water runs clear.
  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and red pepper and cook, stirring often, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add green chilies and garlic; cook, stirring for about 1 minute.
  • Add chili powder and cumin; stir, cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the quinoa, black beans and broth; bring to a simmer. Add dried cilantro if using.
  • Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover and cook until the quinoa is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Add pumpkin seeds, scallions, fresh cilantro (if using), lime juice and salt to the quinoa; mix gently to fluff quinoa and serve.
  • NOTE: I buy organic roasted pumpkin seeds pre-packaged at the grocery store. To toast pumpkin seeds, toast in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly for 3 to 5 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove immediately from pan and cool.

QUINOA WITH LATIN FLAVORS



Quinoa With Latin Flavors image

This is a fabulous quinoa pilaf that pairs well with grilled or broiled meats, or could even be a main vegetarian course. I like to have leftovers for breakfast with a fried egg on top. From the Eating Well magazine. Super healthy and yummy. If you use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth it is a vegan recipe.

Time 35m

Yield 2/3 cup, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup quinoa
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14 ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth or 1 (14 ounce) can vegetable broth
1/4 cup pepitas, toasted (see Note)
3/4 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup scallion, chopped
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat a large dry skillet over medium heat and add quinoa, stirring to toast, until it crackles and becomes a bit brownish and aromatic. Transfer to a fine sieve and rinse under cold running water. Drain.
  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, stirring often, about 2 or 3 minutes. Add chiles and garlic. Cook stirring for 30 seconds.
  • Add the quinoa and broth to the onion mixture. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover and cook until the quinoa is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Add toasted pepitas, cilantro, scallions, lime juice and salt to the quinoa. Fluff with a fork and stir gently to mix.
  • NOTE: Pepitas are hulled pumpkin seeds. They are somewhat green and may be found in health-food stores or Latin markets. If you can't find pepitas, I suppose shelled raw sunflower kernels would be a good substitute in this recipe.
  • NOTE: To toast nuts, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Put nuts in the dry pan and stir or toss/flip constantly, until nuts just begin to darken a bit and become aromatic. It's easy to go from brown to burnt really quickly, so keep an eye on them. When done, remove from the heat quickly and put into a different dish that is cool.
