This recipe is so delicious we make it on a weekly basis. It\u2019s good for lunch or dinner and leftovers are good cold. The original recipe called for it to be made with kale, but I prefer the flavour of spinach. Paul adds feta cheese to his portion. What I like about this recipe is while the quinoa is cooking you can do all the chopping. This recipe comes together in under 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
Ingredients:
\n1 (14 oz) can unsweetened coconut milk
\n1\/3 cup water
\n1 cup quinoa (white is best)
\n1 tsp garlic, minced (1 clove)
\n1 tsp ground ginger
\n1 tsp turmeric
\n1\/2 TBSP curry powder
\n1\/2 tsp ground cardamom
\n1\/2 TBSP chili powder
\nsalt and pepper to taste
\n1\/4 cup raisins, chopped
\n1\/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
\n3 green onions, sliced finely
\n3\/4 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, quartered
\n1\/2 bag spinach leaves, chopped
\nfeta cheese (optional)<\/p>\n
Directions:
\n-In a large pot warm coconut milk over medium heat, stir in ground ginger, turmeric, curry powder, cardamom, garlic, chili powder, salt and pepper. Stir for 1-2 minutes until spices are well blended into the milk.
\n-Add water and quinoa, bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, remove from heat and let rest for 5 more minutes.
\n-While quinoa is cooking quarter the tomatoes, chop the spinach, green onions, raisins and cranberries.
\n-Fluff the quinoa and add the tomatoes, spinach, green onions, raisins and cranberries and mix well. Serve immediately (top with feta cheese if you like).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
