Total Time: ~45 min.
Serves: 4-6
(Note: to get the most out of quinoa, rinse it 2-3 times and let it soak for 30 min to 1 hour before cooking it. If you don't have the extra time, skip the soaking time.)
1 Cup Quinoa
1 Cup Orange Juice
1 Cup Pomegranate Juice
1/2 Cup Water
1/3 Cup Pecans, toasted, chopped
3/4 Cup dried cranberries
4 oz. feta crumbles
5-8 basil leaves, minced
salt & Pepper to taste
1. Combine OJ, pomegranate juice, water and quinoa in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed, stirring frequently. Once liquid is absorbed, cover, turn off heat and let stand for 5 min.
2. Spoon quinoa into a large bowl. (If you want to eat this meal cold, let the quinoa cool at this point) Mix all other ingredients into the quinoa, serve.
My mom would love this. She's a quinoa maniac.
