Quinoa veggies salad

This quinoa dish is such a great one.  We all know how quinoa is such a fantastic protein, magnesium and calcium source but not only that, it is also a wheat-free alternative!! If Incas used to have it in their diets why shouldn’t we?

Well, in my family, quinoa is a regular, I cook it very often in all various combos, I will definitely add a lot more recipes here soon, so …...stay tuned!

As I was saying, quinoa is a fantastic source of protein for vegans or vegetarians who can sometimes struggle to get their protein, this is such a great source to obtain it from.

Try this quinoa roast veggies salad with this beautifully cooked Yummy spicy coconut chicken. Simply divine.

Let's just get this recipe done!

Equipment

  • chopping board
  • ovenproof dish
  • knife
  • pot

Ingredients

  • 250 g quinoa (8.82 oz) (organic)
  • 2 large beetroots (organic)
  • 5 sticks celery (organic)
  • 4 medium carrots (organic)
  • 2 medium red onions (organic)
  • 1-2 sprigs thyme
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 medium swede (organic)
  • 1/2 medium cauliflower (organic)
  • 1/2 medium butternut squash (organic)
  • salt
  • pepper
  • cayenne pepper (optional)
  • parsley (for garnishing)
Metric - US Imperial

Instructions

  • Wash thoroughly the quinoa by first rinsing it a few times in water in a pot and then place it in a sieve and run cold tap water over it for one minute.
  • Place the quinoa in a pot and cover with water about 2 fingers high above the quinoa grains. Put in some salt and boil (covered) for 15 minutes. Add little boiling water towards the end if you feel it's needed.
  • Wash all the vegetables, peel them and chop them into chunks or little cubes. Make the cauliflower into small florets.
  • Place all vegetables into an oven tray. Make sure they are quite spread out to get a nice crisp and get nicely cooked. Sprinkle salt, pepper the thyme, cayenne pepper and half of the oil over and bake for 35-40 minutes at 180°- 190° C /350°F but halfway through take the tray out of the oven, give the veggies a good old toss and sprinkle the remainder of the oil. Place back in the oven and bake further till they have cooked nicely.
  • Mix the quinoa with the roast veggies, garnish with some parsley and enjoy it alongside a nice piece of organic roast chicken, steak or fish. Optionally, if you wish you can squeeze half a lemon over especially if you choose to have it with fish. Yammmm..... It is delicious!

Notes

It is as simple as this!
Bon appétit!
