Oke Recipe

Ingredients :

- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- Sea salt
- 1 tomato
- 1 cucumber
- 1 bunch fresh mint
- ½ bunch fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon pine nuts

Directions :

Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan. Rinse the quinoa and add to the boiling water with a pinch of sea salt. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Let the quinoa cool while you dice the cucumber and tomato. Chop the mint and parsley. Combine the quinoa with the vegetables and herbs. Mix gently and season with lemon juice, olive oil, and sea salt to taste. Sprinkle with the chives, pine nuts, chia seeds, and feta before serving. This is delicious as a side salad, over mixed greens with a piece of fish, or in a wrap with lettuce for a portable lunch. Leftovers will keep in refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
