Quinoa with Coconut Miso sauce and veg |
|
This wholesome meal can be varied to serve as few or as many people as you require. The creamy coconut sauce and use of quinoa as the basis makes it a suitable gluten-free & vegan dinner idea.
Ingredients:
- a handful of raw quinoa per person
- fresh corn
- fresh broccoli
- fresh snowpeas
- can of coconut milk/cream
- small tablespoon of miso per person
- some lemongrass (a few inches of the pale lower section of lemongrass, not the leaves) or kaffir lime leaves if you have them (optional)
- shallots or fresh coriander leaves for garnish
Directions
- Bring 1 part quinoa to 2 parts water to a boil
- Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for about 15 minutes or until the germ separates from the seed
- Steam the vegies above the quinoa
- The cooked germ looks like a tiny curl and should have a slight bite to it.
- Boil the lemongrass or a few finely chopped kaffir lime leaves in a little water
- Mix the miso with the lemony water to form a slightly runny consistency
- Add the lemony miso to half a can of coconut milk/cream (for 2 people - adjust volume of coconut to suit your requirements)
- Serve the quinoa into bowls, topped with the veg and sauce, topped with some elegantly chopped shallots or coriander
Also good with some lightly fried tofu or tempeh.
