It is remarkable that after five thousand years of cultivation, more than twenty years of intensive marketing and product development by the Quinoa Corporation, and countless articles in newspaper food sections and culinary magazines, quinoa remains relatively unknown. It’s a shame, for the grain is easy to cook (it’s faster than rice), it’s highly nutritious (with more protein than any other grain), it has a wonderful chewy consistency, and its flavor pairs well with almost anything. I encourage you to give it a try and, if you like it, spread the word.
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 cup chopped onions, fresh or frozen
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, fresh or jarred organic
1/2 teaspoon minced ginger, fresh or jarred
1 cup quinoa (8 ounces), rinsed according to package directions
2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons lemon juice, fresh or bottled organic
1 cup mung bean sprouts (8 ounces)
Heat the oil over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add the onion and sauté until transparent. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds. Add the quinoa and broth and stir until the quinoa is distributed. Heat to boiling and reduce the heat so that the liquid just simmers. Cover and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice and mix well; toss in the bean sprouts, and serve.
