QUINOA WITH CREAMY GARLIC SAUCE



Quinoa With Creamy Garlic Sauce image

This vegan quinoa recipe uses zucchini and coconut milk as the base for a creamy garlic sauce. If you haven't tried cooking with quinoa before, it is very easy to make if you follow my instructions. The grain has a slightly nutty taste, and it is very popular right now for vegans and vegetarians because of its protein profile. It has all the essential amino acids in one food, which is helpful for those who don't eat a wide variety of healthy vegan foods. If raw garlic is too strong for you, roast it before putting it in the sauce.

Provided by Heather Nauta

Categories     Grains

Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup quinoa (dry measure)
1 zucchini
2 garlic cloves
1/2 onion
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional)
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 pinch sea salt
1 pinch ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

  • Start by cooking the quinoa. Rinse it with water and drain, then add 2 cups water and a sprinkle of sea salt to the water. Bring this to a boil, then turn down to simmer for 20-30 minutes. When you see the swirl of the grains, with a translucent center, the quinoa is fully cooked. It should be fluffy if you don't stir the quinoa while it cooks.
  • Make the sauce while the quinoa is cooking by putting the rest of the ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend the zucchini with enough coconut milk and/or water to get it smooth. Add the garlic and onion in stages to make sure the sauce stays smooth.
  • Serve the cooked quinoa topped with the sauce alone, or add some chopped vegetables, steamed or raw.

SALMON CAKES WITH CREAMY GARLIC SAUCE



Salmon Cakes with Creamy Garlic Sauce image

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups Cooked salmon, flaked
1/2 cup Bread crumbs or Panko, plus more to coat the patties
4 tablespoons Medium shallot, minced
2 tablespoons Minced herbs like dill, fennel fronds, or parsley
1/4 cup Mayonnaise
1 clove Large clove garlic, minced
1 ear Large egg
2 teaspoons Dijon or yellow mustard
1/4 cup Mayonnaise
2 cloves Garlic cloves, shaved, pressed or finely minced
1 tablespoon Lemon juice
1 dash Heavy cream (to thin if needed)
1 pinch Salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Combine the flaked salmon, bread crumbs, shallot, garlic clove, and herbs in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk together the mayonnaise, egg, and mustard in a small bowl, then pour on top of the salmon. Stir until everything is evenly mixed
  • Divide and shape the salmon into six medium or eight small patties. Place them on a plate, spaced a little apart. At this point, the patties will feel very loose and wet; transfer the patties to the refrigerator and chill for at least 15 minutes (or cover and refrigerate for up to a day). This helps firm up the fish cakes and makes them easier to fry.
  • While the salmon cakes chill, whisk together he mayonnaise, garlic and lemon juice. Add heavy cream, one tablespoon a a time, to thin it to a pourable consistency if needed. Cover and set aside for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate for up to a week. The flavors will taste very harsh at first, but will mellow with time. Taste the mayo after it's had time to mellow a bit and add salt if needed.
  • When ready to cook the salmon cakes, film a large skillet with olive oil and set over medium-high hear. While the skillet heats, place a few spoonfuls of bread ctrumbs on a plate or bowl and dip each patty to coat with crumbs. When the pan is hot enough that a flick of water evaporates right away, place the salmon cakes in the pan spaced a little apart.
  • Fry the cakes for 3 to 5 minutes, until golden on the underside. Flip and fry for another 3 to 5 minutes. If they seem to be frying too quickly, adjust the heat.
  • Transfer the patties to serving plates, top with some of the creamy garlic sauce, and serve while still hot. These salmon cakes are great with a green salad on the side.

Tips:

  • Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic has a stronger flavor than powdered garlic, which will make your sauce more flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the garlic: Garlic can easily burn, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook it just until it is fragrant and slightly browned.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The white wine you use will add flavor to your sauce, so choose a good quality one. A dry white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay, is a good choice.
  • Use heavy cream: Heavy cream will make your sauce rich and creamy. You can also use milk or half-and-half, but the sauce will be thinner.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season your sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, or chives, will add a pop of color and flavor to your sauce.

Conclusion:

Creamy garlic sauce is a versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for pasta, chicken, fish, or vegetables. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for bread or crackers. With its rich, creamy flavor and ease of preparation, creamy garlic sauce is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
