Provided by Johanna Bond

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
1 tablespoon white cooking wine
½ sweet onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
pinch rosemary
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 cup sharp cheddar, cubed
1 cup baby spinach, raw
1 crisp, sweet apple, cored and diced

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan. Sauté the garlic and onions with the olive oil and rosemary, until tender. About 3 minutes. Add quinoa and lemon juice to the pan. Sauté the quinoa for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to evenly toast the quinoa. Pour on the white wine and allow it to cook off, continuing to cook the quinoa for another minute. Add two cups of water and bring the quinoa to a boil, then simmer on low with the pan covered for 20 minutes or until the quinoa looks fluffy and there is no extra water.
  • Add chopped apple, baby spinach, cubes of cheddar and balsamic vinegar and mix together until cheddar has melted and the greens wilted. Remove from heat and serve.

Overall, this was a pretty good recipe. The quinoa was cooked well and the vegetables were flavorful. However, I think it could have benefited from a bit more sauce or dressing.

I found the instructions a bit confusing and the cooking time seemed to be off. The quinoa ended up being undercooked.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning or herbs.

This recipe was easy to follow and the end result was delicious! I made a few minor substitutions, using kale instead of Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes instead of butternut squash, and it turned out great. Will definitely make this again!
