RED QUINOA AND LENTIL PILAF
Steps:
- 1 cup French green lentils, rinsed 1 bay leaf 1 thyme sprig 1 garlic clove 1/4 onion 2 tablespoons coconut oil 1 shallot, minced 1 celery rib, minced 1 carrot, minced 1/2 cup red quinoa, rinsed 1 cup vegetable stock Salt Freshly ground pepper 1 pound cauliflower, coarsely grated 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley 1/3 cup coarsely chopped Marcona almonds Put the lentils in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Add the bay leaf, thyme sprig, garlic and onion and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderately low heat until the lentils are tender, about 18 minutes. Drain and discard the bay leaf, thyme, garlic and onion. Wipe out the pot. Add 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil to the saucepan. Add the shallot, celery and carrot and cook over low heat until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the quinoa and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Add the stock, season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over low heat until the grains are tender and plump and the liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the cauliflower and cook over moderately high heat until lightly browned in spots, about 5 minutes. In a large bowl, toss the lentils with the quinoa, cauliflower, parsley and almonds. Season with salt and pepper and serve hot or at room temperature.
