Ingredients

1 cup red and plain quinoa mix
20 leaves mint, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 tbsp ground pepper
1 dash sea salt
2 tbsps chopped chives
3 tbsps extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Cook quinoa. Use a mix of red and plain quinoa because the red has a nicer nutty flavor.
Mix everything except the quinoa, salt and pepper. Let rest 5 minutes.
While quinoa is still warm, add the oil and herb mixture so that the flavor will infuse.
Add salt and pepper to round out the flavors. Garnish with a bit of mint.
Note: great with mint oil brushed on to grilled shrimp and scallops (see my cookbook).
