CURRIED QUINOA AND CHICKPEAS



Curried Quinoa and Chickpeas image

Quinoa contains more protein than other grains, and that protein is of unusually high quality for a plant food. That makes this a great filling main dish and the blend of flavors and colors will bring everyone at the table back for more. -Suzanne Banfield, Basking Ridge, New Jersey

SIMPLE LEMON DILL QUINOA CHICKPEA SALAD



Simple Lemon Dill Quinoa Chickpea Salad image

This salad comes together quickly and easily, with only a bit of chopping, a little stirring, and a handful of ingredients. Having this simple salad in my fridge at a moment's notice has been a godsend for me lately!

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup uncooked quinoa (rinsed with cold water (about 1 1/2 cups cooked))
1 15-ounce can chickpeas (a.k.a. garbanzo beans) (about 1 1/2 cups cooked), drained and rinsed
About 6 scallions (sliced (about 1/2 cup))
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill (1 generous handful)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 2 medium lemons)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste

Steps:

  • Cook the quinoa. Rinse quinoa under cold water and drain. Place in a small pot on the stove and add 3/4 cup water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook about 15 minutes, just until tender and translucent, with the white tail removed from the seed. Remove from heat and pour into a large bowl. Stir and spread a bit to let cool some (but it does not need to cool completely).
  • Add the chickpeas, scallions, and dill. Stir gently to combine.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until combined. Pour over the quinoa mixture. Stir to combine.
  • Taste and add more salt if desired. Flavors will develop more after the salad chills.
  • Cover and refrigerate until it's time to eat. Best flavor is achieved after about 24 hours but it's still delicious right after mixing! Keeps about 4 days in the fridge.

  • To cook the quinoa: Combine the rinsed quinoa and the water in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then decrease the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until the quinoa has absorbed all of the water, about 15 minutes, reducing heat as time goes on to maintain a gentle simmer. Remove from heat, cover, and let the quinoa rest for 5 minutes, to give it time to fluff up.
  • In a large serving bowl, combine the chickpeas, cucumber, bell pepper, onion and parsley. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic and salt. Whisk until blended, then set aside.
  • Once the quinoa is mostly cool, add it to the serving bowl, and drizzle the dressing on top. Toss until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Season with black pepper, to taste, and add an extra pinch of salt if necessary. For best flavor, let the salad rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
