When I feel like theres nothing to eat, there is always quinoa. Actually thats not true. Quinoa is a choice food. The lucky part about it is that it is non perishable and will go with any flavor you want. If you're into Russian spaghetti you could probably eat it with straight ketchup and mayo. That's not really my thing.
Today I am featuring one of my favorites from Trader Joe's. Drum roll please: Thai Curry Sauce. They have yellow and red and both are delicious. For some reason I really like either sauce in combination with raisins.
Quinoa of the Day
2/3 cups boiling water
1 1/3 cups dry quinoa
2 long celery sticks
10 baby carrots
1 small zucchini
2 baby onions
5 basil leafs
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
14 frozen shrimps
3 tablespoons of red curry sauce
Raisins sprinkled on individually
Pinch of Salt
Start the skillet to boil water and when the water is boiled, you know the drill, add the dry quinoa. After about 5-7 minutes, add your olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Start to add your vegetables. Just think of which veggies are going to not get soggy if you put them in first. So half the carrots and slice the celery. Then a little while down the road, zucchini and shrimps. You keep the lid of the skillet on top so that quinoa can get soft. Everything else from the chopped baby onions, chopped basil leafs, raisins, and even the curry sauce can be added in at the very end after the quinoa is finished cooking. (The whole cook time should take from 10-12 minutes).
