Quinoa and Chickpea Tabbouleh
-
Process
- Wash and drain the quinoa seeds. Cover with double the amount of water and bring to the boil. Simmer with a lid on until the grain has swelled and absorbed all the liquid. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Peel the onion and chop into brunoise dice. Peel the cucumber but not completely, leaving green bits. Cut in half, discard the seeds, and cube.
- Cut the mint leaves into fine strips. Chop the dates. Finely grate the lemon zest, and squeeze the juice.
- Combine the quinoa, garbanzos, red pepper, cucumber, chopped date, lemon zest and chopped mint in a bowl. Blend the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper to an emulsion, drizzle over the salad and toss well.
- Serve with a little fresh mint and garbanzo sprouts.
