Mo Knowles from macnmos.com has provided us with a wonderful Vegan, Gluten Free, Low Sodium, and Low Sugar Quinoa recipe.  This recipe is sure to feed your Quinoa craving while incorporating Coconut Oil and Hemp Protein Powder!

Ingredients:

1 C Quinoa (pronounced KEENwah)
1 3/4 C Water
1/2 C Green Onion
2 Cloves Garlic (minced)
3 Tbsp Lime Juice
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
2 TBSP Nutiva Coconut Oil
2 tsp Cumin
Black Pepper
2 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes

1/3 C Crushed Walnuts
1/2 C Organic Pea Sprouts (or any kind)
1.5 C Organic Parsley
1 Large Fennel (chopped & diced)

Directions:

1. Rinse Quinoa before toasting in a pan over Medium Heat. (Careful of the strainer. I tried straining mine and made a messy mess!)

2. Toast & stir the Quinoa for approximately 5 minutes…the aroma is delectable & nutty. Add water and simmer. Cover & cook for approximately 30 min.

3. Remove from heat.

4. Chop or dice all veggies, saute garlic & green onion in Coconut Oil. Add veggies to saute pan OR add raw. YOUR CHOICE.

5. In a separate cup or bowl, add Coconut Milk to Hemp Protein Powder and spices and stir until blended.

6. This sauce will be added over the Quiona, after fluffed with a fork.

7.Once the sauce is mixed well into the Quinoa, add ALL the veggies (lightly sauteed or raw) Add the garlic/green onions, lime/lemon and fluff a bit more.

8. Serve & top with walnuts (or any nuts)

This dish can be served hot or cold.
