Quinoa Tabbouleh Recipe adapted from Michael Rotondo, Parallel 37, San Francisco, Calif. MAKES 4 SERVINGS (PLUS ABOUT 3/4 CUP DRESSING) START TO FINISH: 45 MINUTES INGREDIENTS DIRECTIONS 1 cup low-sodium or homemade vegetable stock or broth ½ cup quinoa ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus more for seasoning ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil 3 bunches flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped (about 4 cups) 1 English cucumber, finely chopped (about 2 cups) ½ cup finely chopped mint leaves ½ cup finely chopped tomatoes ¼ cup finely chopped red bell pepper Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1. In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable stock to a boil. Meanwhile, in a small skillet set over medium-high heat, toast the quinoa, stirring occasionally, until the grains release a nutty aroma, about 3 minutes. 2. Transfer the toasted quinoa to the saucepan and reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook until the quinoa is tender and has absorbed all the stock, about 12 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and transfer the quinoa to a large bowl to cool to room temperature. 3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk the lemon juice with the olive oil and set aside. 4. In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa with the parsley, cucumber, mint, tomatoes and red bell pepper. Add the reserved dressing to taste and toss to mix thoroughly. Season the tabbouleh to taste with salt and pepper and additional lemon juice if needed. Serve.
