Quinoa is a complete protein and very good for you. It's quick to cook and a good alternative to brown rice. This recipe adds flavour to quinoa so it can be eaten as an accompaniment to any dish with or without sauce.
1 x 250ml cup of quinoa
100ml white wine
1 garlic clove, crushed
500ml water
handful of flaked almonds
handful of shredded mint leaves
3 spring onions, sliced
juice of 1 small lime - don't overdo the lime
Put the quinoa into a saucepan on a medium heat for about 30 seconds. Add the white wine and let it sizzle for another 30 seconds.
Add the water and crushed garlic clove amd simmer on a low heat for 10 minutes.
When complete, stir through the lime juice and toss in the spring onions, almonds and herbs to taste (you can use coriander or parsley instead of mint if you prefer).
