As usual, I was poking around the internet for something different. I came across a recipe for "
Sunshine Rice" and it sounded interesting. I decided to play around with the idea and use the same basic concept for quinoa. I did want it to be a little bit sweeter than the rice recipe sounded as thought it might be. So here is my rendition call "Orange Honey Quinao." I thought it turned out delicious!
2 tsps olive oil
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 small to medium sweet onion, chopped
1 tsp bottled mince garlic (or fresh equivelant)
1 cup water
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tbls soy sauce
2 tbls honey
1/2 tsp salt
1-2 pinches red pepper flakes
Scant 1 cup uncooked, rinsed quinoa
Slivered almonds to sprinkle on top (toasted optional)
Ornage slices for garnish (optional)
Combine water through honey in a 2-cup measuring cup. Stir to combine.
Heat olive oil in large sauce pan. Add celery and onion. Cook on medium high until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and red pepper and cook 2-3 minutes more.
Add orange juice mixture. Turn heat to high and bring mixture to a simmer.
Stir in quinoa. Bring to a full boil. Reduce heat and simmer 15-20 munutes, or until liquid is absorbed.
Once liquid is absorbed, remove from heat and stir. Let sit for a few minutes. Top with slivered (toasted) almonds. Serve with orange slices for garnish if desired.
This dish would be excellent with some grilled chicken and a large helping of steamed brocolli! Enjoy!
