Lemongrass Ginger Quinoa

I will admit that I don't love the taste of quinoa without other fresh flavours added. This recipe was created by simply digging through the fridge for potential vegetables to add to the mix. It turned out delicious!

Sauté on medium heat 2 chopped spring onions (the whites and some of the firmer greens) with 2 cloves chopped garlic until soft. Add 1 tsp of minced fresh ginger and 1 tsp lemongrass paste and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in 1 cup of no salt added chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add 1/2 cup of quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork and top with remaining chopped green onion. Season with salt & pepper. This recipe served 2 hungry adults with seared yellowfin tuna.

Try it!
