A delicious and healthy recipe, that is light and well suited to this time of year (summer). Also long awaited by you my followers, with my apologies for the wait.

Recipe Ingredients: (for 4 people)
  • 350grs Quinoa
  • 250 Pealed Prawn (raw) cut in halves
  • 1 white onion, chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 200grs broccoli spears, (branches sliced)
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed and chopped
  • 4 mild chillies, chopped
  • 1 piece of ginger (size of a garlic clove) minced
  • 1 fish stock cube (like knorr or Oxo)
  • 1/2 can plum tomatoes pealed and chopped
  • 1 soup spoon of turmeric
  • 1/2 soup spoon of paprika
  • 2 soup spoons of chopped coriander
  • olive oil, salt and black pepper to taste (+ 1/4 glass of wine "red or white)



Preparation:

Put In a pan about three to four tablespoons of olive oil ,a pinch of salt and a little pepper. Place this one on the heat and let it heat, once hot add the onion, garlic, ginger, carrot, chilli, chopped branches of broccoli, chives, paprika and turmeric. Cook a little for about 1 to 2 minutes stirring occasionally, when it starts to get a little stuck to the pan, de-glacé it with 1 / 4 cup of white or red wine, and it will form a thick sauce, to which you add a glass of water, the tomatoes, broccoli, the fish stock and the Quinoa .

Once boiling reduce the heat to minimum and put a lid on the pan, watching it from time to time to see if a little more water is needed, let cook for about ten minutes, then add the prawns and let it cook three to four minutes more stirring occasionally, adding last coriander cover the pan again with the lid and let stand about two to three minutes which will make it ready to serve .... bon appetit.
