venetia_sassyCilantro Lemon Quinoa Pilaf
Really nice and easy to make. It definitely didn't need the added salt though (I tend to be cautious about that. Flavour reasons only, I take salt tablets twice a day) and I think, if you're using frozen peas as I did they should go in five minutes before the quinoa finishes cooking. Otherwise they go that very unappetising khaki colour.
I hadn't cooked with quinoa in ages but I have a bag of black quinoa in the cupboard and I think I might try something with that tomorrow night. I'd forgotten the interesting texture and it's surprisingly filling.

Mum was looking for a light read and I handed over Thus Was Adonis Murdered. There were loud snorts of laughter within a couple of chapters. Win!

I realised today that the month is a week further advanced than I thought it was. I sometimes worry about my ability to survive.
