Quinoa, /kinwa/ not /kwɪnoʊə/, is not only hard to pronounce but hard to find. We could only find one brand, which is Ancient Harvest - in the organic section at Food Lion or (a little less expensive) in the rice section at Harris Teeter. This might just be the new and delicious healthy grain, or it may just be new to us. Either way we enjoyed a little something different. And who doesn't love sundried tomatoes and goat cheese? You will not be disappointed with this meal!
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup quinoa (rinsed!)
- 1 small onion, minced
- 3 cloves of roasted garlic, minced
- ½ cup sundried tomatoes (not in oil!), chopped
- 2 oz goat cheese
- Salt to taste
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add oil, onion, garlic, and quinoa to pan. Reduce to low heat and cover for 20 minutes. After quinoa has simmered and spiraled out, add goat cheese and sundried tomatoes. Leave uncovered on low heat until tomatoes have softened and cheese has melted, about 3 or 4 minutes.
Yield: 2 servings (or 4 if served as a side dish)
