Quinoa    

 [4 those of u who don't know how 2 make quinoa here is a step by step]

Ingredients:

1 cup quinoa

2 cups water

Put quinoa in a dry pot & toast on a low flame till the grain releases a pleasant aroma & makes popping sounds (almost like the sound popcorn makes).

Add water, bring to a boil cover & cook on a low flame

For 45 min. turn flame off & let sit covered.

Quinoa is technically not a grain but a grass & is not acidic like other grains. It is light and easy to digest.

It is an easy grain to make if you know how to make it.

When made incorrectly it comes out mushy. The secret to a dish where each grain stands on its own is toasting the grains.

Jakyll's Lemon marinated cucumber

People tend to overlook cucumbers when preparing a meal. What they fail to understand is the ability of a cucumber dish to infuse the meal with a refreshing lightness. This is especially true when paired with a grain dish in the same meal.

Ingredients  

8 small pick'lly cucumbers sliced thin

1 lemon juice from one lemon

Sea salt to taste

Let cucumbers marinate in lemon juice & sea salt for 1 hr.

Then add-

2 scallions chopped

2 tbs chopped sweet red pepper.

Just before serving sprinkle scallions & red pepper on top.
