Baked Quinoa With Spinach and Cheese
I (barely) modified this NYTimes recipe. My modifications were all cheapening steps, as well. So. Boil water with chicken or vegetable boullion cubes, and use that to prepare 1 cup of uncooked quinoa.
Follow the recipe steps for wilting the spinach and cooking everything together. Since i’m not a huge onions fan, i extra cook the onions until they start to get a little caramel-y. I also used 3 garlic cloves instead of 2. Why not?
Unless you have access to cheap fresh herbs, I’d substitute a shake of poultry seasoning (it’s mostly sage) for the fresh sage, and cheap brand swiss cheese instead of gruyere (this choice was necessary for me, because i live at the 10km mark of the NYC marathon and could not cross the street to have more cheese access).
It’s a pretty simple recipe if you prepare your ingredients in advance (which I have to do because I have no knife skills.)
Eat it. It’s good for fall.
