Receta Quinoa and Roasted Vegetables with Chimichurri Sauce
Pages
After making the chimichurri sauce, I was wondering how to use it. In Argentina, it is served with grilled meat. After searching a little bit, here are more uses for it in vegetarian dishes - ideas from here:
As a sandwich spread by mixing with mayo.
As pasta sauce -- just toss with hot pasta.
Stir in scrambled eggs.
Stir into mashed potatoes.
Use as dressing for chopped veggie salad.
Here's how I used the chimichurri sauce. I served it with some roasted vegetables and quinoa. Recipe idea is from Vegetarian Times magazine. Original recipe had roasted sweet potatoes, but I used grilled veggies instead.
Ingredients: Serves
- Quinoa - 1cup, rinsed and drained
- Vegetables - Pepper, Eggplant, Onion, Zucchini for grilling
- Chimichurri Sauce - as needed
- Avocado - 1, sliced
Method:
Grill vegetables until tender. Season with salt and pepper. Alternately they can be roasted in the oven to.
In the meantime, bring quinoa and 2cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 15~20 minutes or until tender. Season with salt.
To serve, divide the quinoa and vegetables among 4 bowls. Top each with chimichuri and garnish with sliced avocado.
