Grilled Vegetables with Quinoa (Hot or Cold)
1 uncooked cups quinoa
3 zucchini
1 red onion
3 portobello mushroom caps (optional)
2 or 3 peppers (can be any colour)
2 cloves garlic minced
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup sherry vinegar (red wine vinegar with a bit of sherry would do. Balsamic is also be good…I would decrease the oil a little and increase the vinegar)
1/4 tspn sugar
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
Remove gills of mushroom caps and chop veggies.
Combine garlic, oil, vinegar, sugar, pepper, salt and lightly brush some of this dressing over the veggies before grilling
Grill veggies.
Meanwhile cook up quinoa. Rinse it very well and drain. Put in pot with 1 2/3 cups water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15 – 20 minutes until no more moisture and it is cooked but not mushy. Let it cool if making a salad
