Pecan Quinoa Stuffed Medjool Dates

Tuesday, October 11, 2022

A simple gluten free appetizer or snack that is ready in no time and will be a real crowd-pleaser. Bursting with flavour, it will be hard to have just one of these sweet and savoury morsels. If desired, wrap bacon around each stuffed date and secure with toothpick. Bake for 15 minutes until bacon is crisp. I garnished them with some fresh sage leaves, but next time I would make some crispy sage leaves to top the stuffed dates. If you don't have pecans, just substitute equal amounts of walnuts, macadamia, pistachios or hazelnuts.

Quinoa Filled Hokkaido

Sunday, October 13, 2019

Autumn means PUMPKINS, one of the very low calorie vegetables. They are a particularly good source of dietary fibre, as well as a range of vitamins and minerals.
Quinoa (a mix of white and red), cooked in vegetable stock, scented with cinnamon, tossed with pumpkin seeds and cranberries, is stuffed into Hokkaido pumpkin halves, then baked until tender for a delicious, gluten-free, vegetarian meal. You can easily replace the Hokkaido with another squash like acorn or kabocha.

1 tbsp Olive oil
1 Small yellow onion, cut into 1/3-inch dices
3/4 tsp Ground cumin
150 g Quinoa, rinsed in cold water and drained
450 ml Vegetable stock
50 g Dried, unsweetened cranberries
1 / 800 g Hokkaido pumpkin
30 g Pumpkin seeds
1/3 tsp Ground cinnamon
1-2 tsp Fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. When it is hot, add the diced onion and ground cumin and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
Add the quinoa to the saucepan and stir to coat the grains. Add the stock and raise the heat to high. When the liquid comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low, add the cranberries, and cover the pan. Cook at a slow simmer until the liquid has been absorbed, 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut the Hokkaido pumpkin in half. Scoop out and discard the seeds and fibers. Place the pumpkin halves on a rimmed baking sheet and set it aside.
When the quinoa is cooked, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the pumpkin seeds, cinnamon and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 190C/375F.
Divide the quinoa filling among the pumpkin halves. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast until the quinoa is hot and the flesh of the pumpkins is tender when pierced with a skewer or fork, 50 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tri-colour Quinoa with Pineapple and Miso Salmon

Wednesday, May 23, 2018

Miso-glazed salmon and quinoa combined with fresh pineapple, pine nuts and salad greens to make a delicious, light but satisfying weeknight meal. I use red miso, which is typically made from soya beans fermented with barley or other grains, in the marinade for the salmon. Replace it with rice or soya based white miso instead if you need to go gluten free. You could use rice, kaniwa, or farro instead of quinoa.

Miso Salmon	Salad
2 tbsp Red miso paste 1 tbsp Light soya sauce 2 tbsp Sherry vinegar 1 tbsp Coconut sugar 1 tbsp Olive oil 300 g Salmon steak	100 g Tri-colour quinoa, rinsed, drained 1/2 Fresh pineapple, peeled and chopped 3 Scallions, chopped Salad greens Handful of roasted pine nuts

Combine miso paste, soya sauce, vinegar, coconut sugar, and olive oil in bowl. Use 1 tablespoon of the sauce to brush the salmon steak.
Meanwhile well rinse quinoa and drain. Place them in a saucepan filled with 250 ml of water. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat to low and cook for 12 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Set aside to cool.
Cook the salmon in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 3 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking.
Place quinoa, chopped pineapples, and scallions in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of miso sauce and gently toss to combine.
Place salad greens on platters. Top with quinoa and salmon. Sprinkle the roasted pine nuts over. Serve with extra miso sauce.

Quinoa Kaniwa Salad with Pomegranate and Kale

Wednesday, November 23, 2016

Both quinoa and kaniwa are mineral-rich, protein-packed and naturally gluten-free. They are technically seeds, or so-called pseudograins, but they share many of the nutritional properties of whole grains. These two protein powerhouses are rooted in South America, and both cooked and eaten like a grain and can be subbed into recipes that call for rice and couscous. The main difference when cooking quinoa and kaniwa is that kaniwa does not need to be rinsed before cooking because kaniwa is free from saponins, the soapy-flavoured chemicals in quinoa.

100 g Quinoa, well rinsed and drained
50 g Kaniwa
Handful of kale, chopped
200 g Pomegranate seeds
A handful of almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
1 Small white radish, peeled and thinly sliced, optional

2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp Finely chopped shallots
1 tbsp Maple syrup
2 tsp Dijon mustard
4 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Place rinsed and drained quinoa, kaniwa and 300 ml water in a medium saucepan, bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes until water has been absorbed and quinoa and kaniwa are al dente.
In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, shallots, maple syrup and mustard. Slowly whisk in olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, toss the quinoa, kaniwa, pomegranate seeds and vinaigrette. Top with the chopped almonds and serve on a bed of thinly sliced white radish immediately.
