Hi ~ Hello, everyone. My name is Ricky ~ I just came back from abroad recently. I went to Vanuatu, a small country in the southern hemisphere. It's called the top three country in the world in happiness index. After landing, I began to look for the restaurant. I found something disappointing It's that they are mainly French food and British food (formerly British and French). We don't need to introduce English food. The dark cuisine is the best. There are several local French restaurants that do very well. But because the local products are very limited. Most of them are imported. So the price... Can be said to be much higher than Beijing. In several meals, I found that they like beetroot as a side dish. There are pickles, roasted ones in salads and sauces. Now I'm back in Beijing. I have some inspiration. Let's teach you how to make a light food with beetroot - roasted beet and quinoa salad
Step1:When the ingredients are ready, let's preheat the oven 200 degrees. Prepare a shallow baking tra
Step2:Then let's make the drenching sauce, and put all the drenching ingredients into a small bowl or bottle, and chop the red onion
Step3:Mix evenly. If there is a bottle with a lid, pour it all in and shake it hard. It will not separate the milk
Step4:Next let's deal with the main character, beetroot (it's recommended to wear gloves and lay a layer of baking paper, because beetroot has natural pigment and can dye
Step5:Cut small pieces, or dice, according to the size of one bite
Step6:Then season with beetroot, olive oil, vinegar and a little salt in a bow
Step7:Spread baking paper on the shallow baking tray, and spread the seasoned beetroot on the paper as far as possibl
Step8:Preheat the oven, bake in for 20 minutes, take it out for 10 minutes and stir it slightl
Step9:Then wash the quinoa. When the quinoa is washed, there will be bubbles. Just wash until the bubbles no longer appear
Step10:Add quinoa to the boiling water and cook. It's about 15 minutes
Step11:The cooked quinoa is like popcorn
Step12:Then we cut down the stem of kale, tear the leaves to the size of a mouthful, and cut the basil leaves into strips
Step13:Mix kale, basil leaves and water filtered quino
Step14:Then take out the roasted beetroot and mix it, add the sauce according to your taste, put some salt and pepper to adjust the saltiness, and finish.
Step15:It's a very versatile light food with low calories and a strong sense of fullness. It can be matched with pork, fish and beef to increase protein intake. I hope you like it
Cooking tips:1. Basil leaves can be replaced with dill or Brazil. This option is fresh vanilla. You can put your favorite fresh herbs according to your own taste. 2. Quinoa has a low GI value, which is suitable for eating when you lose weight. It has a strong sense of fullness, is easy to cook, and has a high protein content. 3. Beetroot has a very high nutritional value, with kale, which is not impressive, But a vegetable with high nutritional value has skills in making delicious dishes.
