Dinner for two

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

Recipe One

Ingredients

  • 1 cup red or white quinoa
  • 3 medium tomatoes
  • 2 cups edamame beans or sweet corn kernels
  • 2 handfuls baby spinach

Herb dressing

  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1/2 cup basil or mint, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp finely crushed toasted coriander seeds
  • Salt and grinds of black pepper

Method

Toast the dry red or white quinoa in a pan until it starts to smell nutty and begins to pop (about 2-3 minutes). Place in a sieve and rinse under cold water until water runs clear. Place in a pot with 3 cups water, bring to a boil then cover and simmer until grains have become transparent, the spiral- like germ has separated and water has been absorbed (about 15 minutes). Cool.

To make Herby Dressing, shake all ingredients in a jar with salt and pepper to taste.

Core and chop the tomatoes and stir into quinoa with edamame beans or sweetcorn kernels, baby spinach and Herby Dressing.
