I saw a cooking show today on TV where the host made an orange-scented rice, which sounded good, although she made it with chicken stock. It did, however, trigger the thought process that led me to make this quinoa for dinner tonight.
We have begun eating more and more quinoa, because we love the flavor, and because it's so very healthy. I buy organic quinoa, usually at Trader Joe's, and most often it's the mixed color variety.
Here's the recipe, as closely as I can remember:
ORANGE-SCENTED QUINOA
Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa, rinsed well
2 cups water
1 tablespoon organic vegetable boullion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon black pepper
the zest of a small orange
Rinse and drain the quinoa. Place in a saucepan with the water and all the other ingredients. Stir well, and heat to boiling. Reduce head to simmer, cover pan, and cook until all the water is dissolved...about 15-20 minutes. Watch carefully and stir intermittently to prevent sticking.
