Method
Method for the Quinoa a la Jardinera
1. Place the quinoa in a chinoise and wash until the liquid runs clear. Combine the washed quinoa with 2 gallons of water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 4-5 minutes - until it is barely cooked. Pour the cooked quinoa into a strainer and drain the excess water. Transfer the quinoa to a large sheet tray, spread it out and allow to cool. \"Fluff\" the quinoa from time to time.
2. At pick-up: Melt the butter in a large rondeau. Add the peppers, shallots, ginger, carrots, celery and salt and pepper. Sweat the vegetables over a moderate heat. Add the quinoa and continue to heat all through. A half-cup of water or stock can be added to help the re-heating process. Finish with the scallions and herbs, check seasonings.
