Rainbow Quinoa Grain Bowl #SundayFunday

By

 

Today the Sunday Funday group is sharing quinoa recipes. Thanks to Stacy of Food Lust People Love, Sue of Palatable Pastime, Rebekah of Making Miracles, and Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm for coordinating this low-stress group. This week, Renu is hosting and suggested we share recipes based on quinoa. Here's the list of recipes...

I decided to share a grain bowl recipe that I made as part of a 6-bowl video. These grain bowl salads are the perfect side dish or main dish. And I love that they are so, so simple to assemble! Here are six variations using three different grains - farro, barley, and quinoa. But use whatever grains you have. These would be just as tasty with rice, freekah, or even buckwheat! There are two that use quinoa as a base.

You can watch the process on the CulinaryCam YouTube channel...or right here! Ingredients are listed below for the Rainbow Quinoa Gain bowl. But, as always,  I urge you to just be creative and use what you have.

Rainbow Quinoa Grain Bowl

  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 Tablespoon pesto 
  • 1-1/2 to 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon vinegar 
  • 1/2 cup sliced purple cabbage
  • 1/3 cup blanched corn kernels
  • 1/3 cup blanched asparagus
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup diced apples
  • 2 Tablespoons sliced almonds
  • salt
  • freshly ground pepper



I love how easy these are to customize with whatever ingredients I have on-hand. They are colorful, toothy, and tasty.

That's a wrap on our #SundayFunday quinoa event. We'll be back with recipes to celebrate National Steakhouse Month. Stay tuned. I need to get some clarification on what that means from host Wendy. But I am excited!

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce

Aloo Tiki {Pakistan}

By
To start off our Pakistani culinary adventure, I started us off with aloo tiki - potato cutlets. I'm always game for tasty street food. I found a couple of different recipes and incorporated those together for this version. Ingredients 6-8 small red potatoes, scrubbed 1 T cumin seeds 1 T fresh chopped parsley 1/2 t ground coriander 1 t minced garlic Procedure Boil the potatoes until they are tender. Drain and let cool. Mash the potatoes. Traditionally they are mashed without their skins. I left the skins on. In a small pan, toast the cumin seeds on high heat until the begin to give off an aroma and begin to darken. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate to keep them from cooking any more. Blend all of the spices into the mashed potatoes, then shape into small patties. If you wet your hands, the potato mixture won't stick to them. Heat a splash of oil in a large, flat-bottom pan. Dip each patty into beaten egg and carefully place in the oil. P
