Lemon Herb Quinoa
This recipes comes from a fellow israeli foodie, gabi shahar. I tried it out recently (am on a quinoa kick these days) and it's very good. A good alternative to tabbouli or couscous as a cool summer grain salad.
Steps
Place the quinoa in a large bowl.
Fill with cold water.
Drain into a strainer and repeat the rinsing and draining 4 more times.
Over medium-high heat , heat the oil in a 2-quart saucepan.
Add the rinsed quinoa and cook , stirring , until the quinoa makes cracking and popping noises , about 3 to 5 minutes.
Stir in the water , marjoram , thyme , and rosemary.
Bring to a boil , reduce the heat , and simmer , covered , 15 minutes.
Stir in the parsley , lemon juice , salt , lemon rind , and pepper.
Simmer , covered , 5 minutes longer.
Fluff with a fork.
