This aromatic lemongrass coconut quinoa is a delightful blend of fragrant lemongrass, creamy coconut, and fluffy quinoa that will transport your taste buds to a tropical paradise.

Ingredients:

  • 160g quinoa
  • 2 stalks lemongrass, bruised and chopped

  • Pinch of salt

Kitchen Tools:

Preparation:

In a saucepan, combine the quinoa, lemongrass, coconut milk, ginger, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and has absorbed the coconut milk.

Once cooked, fluff the quinoa with a fork and remove the lemongrass stalks. Stir in the fresh coriander and lime juice. Adjust seasoning to taste with additional salt if needed.

Serve the aromatic lemongrass coconut quinoa warm as a side dish or as a base for your favorite protein for a complete meal.
