Here's a nice simple risotto I made with red lentils quinoa chilli sweet red pepper onion garlic chestnut mushrooms baby tomatoes and peas. I cooked the lentils and quinoa, in another pan I cooked the onions garlic chilli peppers mushrooms ginger added cooked peas lentils and quinoa with spices and a little gram flour to thicken.
What I like about quinoa is it has little curly tails that show its cooked,
This is gluten free plant based and low carb so ticks lots of boxes with out compromise. 😊
This is the recipe I saw that inspired me I just wanted peas with mine:
This looks really tasty, i'll definitely give it a go some day I would probably ruin it and add potatoes, but a meal never looks complete to me without some carbs!
Thanks Ali, I love qionoa with lentils and that’s a great compliment as you make gorgeous looking meals. 😊
Thank you Cooper, quinoa is a complete food and a carb but because it contains plenty of fibre it’s net carb count is considered low. It also contains lots of calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, protein and it’s gluten free. 😊
