Quinoa With Roasted Peppers, Feta Cheese & Pine Nuts
I have quinoa cravings. Weird, right?! It could be a lot worse! I eat it for breakfast and I want it again for dinner. Here is my most recent creation.
- 1 cup quinoa, uncooked
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup / 60 ml feta cheese
- 1/4 cup / 60 ml pine nuts
- 1 small shallot
- 1+1 tbsps olive oil
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- Preheat the oven to 400F/205C.
- Cook the quinoa according to instructions.
- Meanwhile cut the red pepper into bites, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and roast for about 20 min.
- Toast the pine nuts in a skillet over medium heat until they are golden and smell irresistible. Set aside.
- Finely dice the shallots.
- Put the salad together then drizzle with the remaining olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
