Crispy Lemon Quinoa
Ingredients List
-
¼ cup pine nuts
-
1 cup quinoa
-
2 cups water
-
sea salt to taste
-
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
-
2 stalks celery, chopped
-
¼ red onion, chopped
-
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
-
½ teaspoon ground cumin
-
1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
-
Lightly toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently to avoid burning. This should take around 5 minutes. Set them aside to cool down.
-
In a pot, combine quinoa, water, and salt. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat to medium. Let it cook until the quinoa becomes tender and the water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Let it cool slightly, then fluff it with a fork.
-
Transfer the quinoa to a serving dish and mix in the pine nuts, lemon juice, celery, onion, cayenne pepper, cumin, and parsley. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste before serving.
