Crunchy meets Creamy: Crispy Quinoa-Stuffed Av

Today’s Special: Crispy Quinoa-Stuffed Avocado

Welcome, foodies! Today I’m excited to share with you a unique and flavorful recipe that’s perfect for a light lunch or snack. I was inspired to create this dish after craving something crunchy yet creamy, and the combination of quinoa and avocado did not disappoint. Let’s dive into this delicious and satisfying recipe together!

Ingredients:

• quinoa (100g)
• avocado (1 large)
• cherry tomatoes (50g)
• feta cheese (30g)
• fresh cilantro (10g)
• olive oil (15ml)
• lime (1)
• salt (to taste)
• pepper (to taste)

Kitchen Tools:

• saucepan
• knife
• cutting board
• spoon
• bowl

To start, cook the quinoa according to package instructions in a saucepan and let it cool. Then, cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out some of the flesh to create a hollow space in each half. Dice the cherry tomatoes, crumble the feta cheese, and finely chop the fresh cilantro.

In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with olive oil and squeeze the juice of a lime over the mixture. Season with salt and pepper, then mix everything together until well combined.

Spoon the quinoa mixture into the hollowed-out avocado halves, packing it in tightly. Feel free to top it off with extra feta or cilantro if desired. The contrast of the creamy avocado with the crispy quinoa filling is simply irresistible!

Now, it’s time to enjoy your masterpiece. Each bite offers a delightful crunch from the quinoa, a creamy texture from the avocado, and bursts of freshness from the cherry tomatoes and cilantro. It’s a truly satisfying and flavorful dish that’s also packed with nutrients.

Tip:

For an extra kick of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika or a drizzle of balsamic glaze on top of the stuffed avocado before serving. The smokiness or sweetness will elevate the dish to a whole new level!
