mmm quinoa

So this week I made3 things with quinoa. 2 were not so great and 1 was.

 I attempted to make a breakfast cookie with quinoa flakes. The quinoa flakes don't taste that great and smell weird. Basically it didn't work. I don't even want to put up the photos.

The 3rd dish is nice and simple. A Sweet Potato-Green Lentil Quinoa Pilaf
serves 2

2 cups water
1/2 cup green lentils rinsed
1/2 cup quinoa rinsed\
1 small onion
1 sweet potato
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

1. chop onion and sautee until brown.
2. add lentils and 2 cups of water, cumin and salt to taste- cover and when boiling turn down heat. let simmer for 20 minutes
3. add quinoa and cover. Let simmer for another 20 minutes. Make sure all water has not been soaked up and its burning. If there is still water keep simmering and check often. If water is gone check how soft ingredients are. If they are crunchy add 1/2 cup water and keep simmering. Do this until desired consistency is reached.
4. add spices to taste.
