QUINOA WITH CORN AND ZUCCHINI



Quinoa With Corn and Zucchini image

Sweet corn and nutty-tasting quinoa make a nice combination that is also nutritionally rich. Quinoa has more iron than any other grain, and it's a good source of manganese, magnesium, phosphorus and copper. It's also a good source of protein.

Time 1h

Yield Serves six to eight

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup regular or red quinoa
3 cups water, chicken stock or vegetable stock
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1 to 2 garlic cloves (to taste), minced
Kernels from 1 ear corn
1 medium zucchini, cut in small dice
2 to 4 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 to 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco or feta (optional)

Steps:

  • Place the quinoa in a bowl, and cover with cold water. Let sit five minutes. Drain through a strainer, and rinse until the water runs clear.
  • Bring the water or stock to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Heat another medium saucepan or lidded skillet over medium-high heat, and add the quinoa. Toast, stirring, until the grains have separated and begin to smell fragrant. Add the water or stock and salt. It should come to a boil quickly. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, until the quinoa is tender and translucent and each grain displays a little thread. Drain and return to the pan. Cover the pan with a clean dish towel, replace the lid and allow to sit undisturbed for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes, and add the garlic, corn and zucchini. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until the zucchini is tender and translucent and the corn tender, five to eight minutes. Stir in the quinoa and toss together. Heat through, add the herbs and serve with a little crumbled queso fresco or feta sprinkled on top if desired.

QUINOA AND CARROT KUGEL



Quinoa and Carrot Kugel image

A request from a reader for a quinoa and carrot kugel inspired this week of recipes. I have no idea if this caraway-scented version resembles the kugel she enjoyed at a reception (see the variation below for one that might resemble it more), but it was a big hit in my household

Categories     casseroles, side dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup quinoa
1 1/4 cups water
Salt to taste
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 3-inch-long sticks
1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
3 eggs
1 scant teaspoon caraway seeds, lightly crushed
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a medium saucepan and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until the onion is just about tender, 3 to 5 minutes, and add the quinoa. Cook, stirring, for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the quinoa begins to smell toasty and the onion is tender. Add the water and salt to taste and bring to a boil. Add the carrots, cover, reduce the heat and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, until the quinoa and carrots are tender and the grains display a threadlike spiral. Uncover and use tongs to transfer the carrot sticks to a bowl. If any water remains in the pot, drain the quinoa through a strainer, then return to the pot. Place a dish towel over the pot, then return the lid and let sit undisturbed for 10 to 15 minutes
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees and oil a 2-quart baking dish or gratin
  • In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, purée the cooked carrots. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the cottage cheese and purée until the mixture is smooth. Add the eggs, salt (I suggest about 1/2 teaspoon), pepper and caraway, and purée until smooth. Scrape into a large mixing bowl. Add the quinoa and mix together thoroughly. Scrape into the oiled baking dish. Drizzle the remaining oil over the top and place in the oven
  • Bake 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is lightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, cut into squares or wedges

LEEK AND ZUCCHINI NOODLE KUGEL



Leek and Zucchini Noodle Kugel image

From Vegetarian Times sometime in the 90s. A savory, not sweet kugel for those like me who prefer cinnamon and raisins in dessert, not dinner. When I first found this recipe, I grated the zucchini with a hand grater. Slicing and grating attachments on the food processor cut prep time to just a few minutes.
