Recipe number 3!

Looks good right?  Since you can’t lick the screen and tell, it tasted fantastic as well :) Here is one of the reasons I love quinoa- you can make it in your rice maker! That’s exactly what I did.  This cooked in the rice maker for 20 mins while I chopped the peaches, nuts and mint.  Now the recipe:

1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa

1 chopped peach- note my peach was large

1/4-1/2 cup chopped pecans

2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint

1 inch of ginger root (graded with a micro-plane)

1 teaspoon hemp oil (or other oil)

Salt to taste

I prefer to add all the ingredients to the quinoa while it’s still warm but it’s not required. First add the oil and squeeze the graded ginger on the quinoa and throw away the pulp.  Mix well to incorporate the flavors. Add the remaining ingredients, let cool and enjoy!

I’m making my second batch of Kheer tonight.  Will post pics and info this week!
