Quinoa Almond Pilaf
Excerpt From: Rose Wilson - 150 Yummy Passover Seder Recipes
Ingredients
1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
1 cup cold water
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 celery rib, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
8 almonds, coarsely chopped
1 small tomato, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons raisins
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch coarse sea salt
In a saucepan, mix the cold water, salt and quinoa together and let it boil; lower the heat to medium-low setting and let the mixture cook for about 15 minutes while covered until the quinoa has absorbed all of the liquid.
Pour the olive oil in a skillet and let it heat up over medium heat setting. Put in the carrot, celery, garlic and onion and let it cook in hot oil for 5-7 minutes while stirring it until the onion turns translucent. Add in the raisins, oregano, almonds, thyme, salt, pepper and tomato and let it cook for 1 more minute while stirring the mixture.
Use a fork to fluff out the quinoa then add it into the vegetable mixture and let the mixture cook for about 30 seconds while stirring it until it is hot and well-combined.
Distribute the cooked quinoa mixture evenly among 3 plates then top it off with some coarse sea salt granules for a nice salty crunch.

Yes this is quite good. I doesn’t make a huge amount but it is easily scaled up.
During the year I make a Wild Rice Salad with raisins and nuts and an orange juice and mint dressing and now I am thinking it couid easily be done with quinoa. 🧐

I have never made it with quinoa but I make it all the time with wild rice. I love serving it because it is made ahead and also because it is delicious and I feast on the leftovers.
I think just subbing quinoa for wild rice woiod work becaise wild rice has a very rich taste that isn’t like regular rice anyway. But if you don’t make it for Pesach, it is great the rest of the year with wild rice. 😘
