The recipe I’d like to showcase today is another healthy side dish. Often, I focus more on the main course, but this time I have a great, healthy, hearty, and delicious side dish for you! I like making quinoa because it’s a whole grain that’s as tasty as couscous, but healthier and so versatile!
2c dry quinoa, prepare as directed: rinse, put into 2.5c boiling water, turn heat down to low and simmer 12 minutes, turn off heat and wait 5 mins, then fluff.
Add 2- 14.5 oz cans of diced tomatoes, drained
1-2 tbs fresh rosemary, chopped fine (or snipped with scissors as I do)
2 tbs fresh basil, chiffoned
Mix well and serve while hot.
You’ll notice my grilled tilapia with lemon butter sauce in the background of the photo, but that’s a different post!
Itadakimasu!
