Cashew Quinoa Crunch
Cashew Quinoa Crunch

This is a seriously simple quinoa recipe that is not only plant-based, but also gluten free. This Cashew Quinoa Crunch is perfect when you don’t have much time, or if you have leftover quinoa. You can add aromatics, sauté some veggies, and done! The great thing here is that you can play with the ingredients. You can use whatever color quinoa you want, if you don’t have red onion, yellow is just fine. If you don’t have spinach, but your fridge is overloaded with kale, do that. Enjoy the simplicity!

Print Recipe
  • Author: Karine K
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 25 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa (whichever color is fine)
  • 1 3/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 tablespoons coconut or olive oil
  • 1/2 cup raw cashews
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 cup red onion, diced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, quartered
  • 1 large branch of celery, sliced 1/2″ thick
  • 3 tablespoons tamari (or soy sauce)
  • 2 large handful of spinach
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, minced
  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Rinse the quinoa under cold running water, rubbing it with your hands, for a good minute. Drain. Drizzle a small amount of coconut oil in the bottom of a medium saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Add the quinoa and toss until the water is absorbed and the quinoa starts to toast, about 1 minute. Add the water and the salt, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and let cook over very low heat until all the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Take off the heat and keep covered for another 10 minutes.

While the quinoa rests, heat 3 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cashews and sauté until golden 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, red onion, mushrooms, and celery, and sauté until the onion is translucent and the mushrooms are cooked, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add one tablespoon of the tamari. Mix well. Add the spinach and the cooked quinoa. Mix and cook slowly until the spinach starts to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add the last two tablespoons of tamari and the cilantro. Mix well. Serve garnished with more cilantro. Additional garnishes could be scallions, fresh lime, and coconut cream. Bon appétit!

Toasted Nuts and Seeds Mix

~ Karine K ~ 3 Comments
Toasted Nuts and Seeds Mix
Toasted Nuts and Seeds Mix

This Toasted Nuts and Seeds mix makes its way into my dishes on many occasions. I don’t have to discuss the importance of nuts in a plant-based diet, but know that nuts are high in essential amino acids and healthy fats. Eating nuts and seeds is a great way to add vitamins, minerals, fiber, and essential fatty acids (like omega-3 and omega-6), to your diet. They are used, for example, to top my Indian Spiced Parsnip Soup, but I also sprinkle this mix on top of my morning oatmeal, on salads, and we eat them just like that too as an easy snack. It’s easy and it’ll add some crunch and nutrients to your diet.
