About

Here I transform one of my favorite wheat-based dishes into a gluten-free version by substituting high-protein quinoa for bulgur. This recipe gets a flavor boost from feta cheese, fresh mint, and lemon juice.

Ingredients

Quinoa, 1 cup (6 oz/185 g), preferably multi-color

Dinner
Gluten-free
Vegan

Method

Place the quinoa in a medium saucepan. Rinse with cold water, drain. Repeat rinsing 3 more times, and then drain the quinoa and return to the pan. Add 1½ cups (12 fl oz/375 ml) water and a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until all the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand at least 5 minutes. Fluf
