Kung Fu Keen Wa!  Quinoa.

Im always looking for new ways to doll up a bowl of Quinoa. If you’ve never heard of it see above.  Yesterday I hit the Quinoa Quinella when I found this recipe calling for clementines, which are basically rolling in the streets around here.  Combine the orange juice with the sesame, the mint and the nutty goodness of Quinoa and WOW.  Just WOW.  Here’s how from the New Basics cookbook.  I swapped the peanuts for cashews.  Smashing as a side and perfect for lunch.  
 
1 cup cooked Quinoa.  
1/2 cup raisons
1/4 cup sesame oil
3 sliced scallions
1/2 cup roasted peanuts
1/2 cup clementine segments
1 tbspn chopped mint
2 tsp clementine zest

Rinse the hell out of the Quinoa then boil for 10 minutes.  After that the fancy way to cook it is to steam it.  I put mine in the microwave for 7 minutes with a wet paper towel on top.  Toss everything else in and toss. 

If you have any kung fu ‘keen waa’ moves of your own.  Do share.
