Preparing and cooking quinoa

1. Wash the quinoa several times to remove its bitterness.

Add spices (paprika, coriander, and turmeric), salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Fry for a few minutes until the onion is tender. If necessary, add a little water.

Put the carrots, potatoes, zucchini, peas, and spinach leaves in the pot and mixes with the spices.

Add 700 ml of water and bring to a boil with a lid. The water should cover the vegetables for proper cooking.

When the water boils, remove the lid and lower the heat. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Add the chickpeas (already cooked), stir, and cook for another 15 minutes.

Serve with a little fresh parsley on a bed of semolina.

Author’s suggestion:

TAJINE OF AUTUMN VEGETABLES WITH DRIED FRUITS

• 4 persons
• 15 min preparation time
• 40 min cooking time

THE INGREDIENTS

• 4 carrots
• 2 turnips
• 2 potatoes of a firm variety
• 2 onions
• 1 clove of garlic
• 2 handfuls of dried apricots
• 2 handfuls of raisins
• 3 handfuls of almonds
• 200 g cooked chickpeas
• 2 tablespoons of chermoula (if you don’t have any, don’t panic, replace with ⅓ of paprika, ⅓ of cumin powder and ⅓ of coriander powder)
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 200g (or more!) medium-grain couscous semolina
• Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: chili or harissa

PREPARATION

Prepare the vegetables: peel and dice the turnips and potatoes, peel and slice the carrots. Set aside.

Mince the onion.

Heat a tagine dish (or thick-bottomed casserole) over low heat. Brown the onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Stir regularly.

Sprout and mince the garlic. Add to the onions when they are translucent, along with the chermoula.

Roast for a minute or two, then add the vegetables, chickpeas, water (enough to cover the vegetables), salt, pepper, and chili. Cover.

Let cook at a very low simmer for 20 minutes. Add almonds and dried fruits (you can cut apricots in 4).

Leave to cook for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the semolina: boil 500 ml of water.

In a bowl, pour the semolina. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and salt.

Ladle some of the cooking juice from the vegetables to flavor the semolina (leave a little for the dish). Pour over the semolina.

Complete with the water that you have boiled until it reaches just above the semolina.

Mix with a fork and let swell.

Just before serving, drain the semolina by hand. Put it in the microwave for 3 minutes.

Ready to serve!

Tip from the author:

You can easily prepare the tagine the day before. You may need to add a little water before reheating if the vegetables have “drunk” the cooking water. I prefer to make the semolina at the last minute.
