this quinoa thing has actually become a regular
So I made a quinoa salad last week mostly to use up the veg sitting in my fridge and it turned out genuinely good so I figured I'd write it down before I forget what I did.
Basically roasted a load of seasonal stuff — I had courgette, red pepper, and some cherry tomatoes that were nearly going over. Chucked them in the oven with olive oil and a bit of smoked paprika, like 200° for 20 minutes. Meanwhile cooked the quinoa in vegetable stock instead of water, which makes a difference tbh, it actually has flavour that way. While that was all doing its thing I made a quick dressing — just tahini, lemon juice, a tiny bit of miso paste (I always have it in, old habit from Japan), garlic, and a splash of water to loosen it. Mixed everything together warm so the dressing kind of soaks in a bit.
I added some chickpeas as well because I had a tin and honestly it made it way more filling. Finished with fresh coriander and a handful of pumpkin seeds for the crunch. Mind you I nearly skipped the miso because it felt a bit random in a Mediterranean-ish dish but it added this depth that I can't really explain, just... round? It works.
It kept really well in the fridge for three days. Ate it cold for lunch with a fried egg on top at some point which sounds weird but was very much not weird.
