BC Fresh and Gourmet Warehouse Recipe of the Week!
THE RECIPE: Black Quinoa Salad with Charred Broccoli & Carrots
For this perfect weeknight dish that’s high in protein and fiber, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add a cup of black quinoa and a pinch of salt. Turn the heat down and simmer, covered, until all the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
Heat your barbecue or grill pan to medium-high. Cut your BC Fresh broccoli and carrots into bite-sized pieces, lightly toss them with olive oil and char them on all sides for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally. Season with a bit of fleur de sel, transfer to a bowl and give your blackened veggies a good squeeze of lemon juice.
To serve, place the quinoa in a dish, mix in pesto. Add sun-dried tomatoes, nuts, parsley, your charred veggies and finish with Parmesan cheese.
