Ingredients
-
½ cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
-
1 cup cold water
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
3 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 celery rib, chopped
-
1 small onion, chopped
-
1 carrot, chopped
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
8 almonds, coarsely chopped
-
1 small tomato, seeded and chopped
-
2 tablespoons raisins
-
⅛ teaspoon salt
-
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
⅛ teaspoon dried thyme
-
⅛ teaspoon dried oregano
-
1 pinch coarse sea salt
Directions
-
Combine quinoa, cold water, and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the saucepan, and cook until the liquid is fully absorbed, about 15 minutes.
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir celery, onion, carrot, and garlic in the hot oil until the onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir almonds, tomato, raisins, salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano into the vegetable mixture; cook and stir 1 minute more.
-
Fluff the quinoa with a fork and stir into the mixture in the skillet; cook and stir until evenly mixed and hot, about 30 seconds.
-
Divide between 3 plates; sprinkle the top of each portion with a scattering of a few coarse sea salt granules for a surprising crunch of salty goodness.
