I made a great dinner last night and discovered a new way to prepare quinoa in the process. While I won’t be posting my recipe for last night’s dinner until next week, I did want to share my recipe for Lemon Quinoa (and some pictures I took along the way). Oh yah, best thing about the recipe – it takes about 25 minutes to make!
Some notes
- The quinoa is great on its own, with the lemon zest and fresh lemon juice. I added in basil and chives (for the recipe I’m posting next week) but think the herbs add another layer to this.
- Might be great to serve with your favorite vegetables – roasted, steamed, or sauteed.
- There is no oil in this recipe, so I suggest adding about 1 tsp – 1/2 tbsp. olive oil to whatever vegetables you add in.
- For something different, try it with orange zest + juice OR lime zest + juice (the latter might taste great with mango and cilantro).
