#highprotein Quinoa is a small grain indigenous to South America. It has a very high protein content which has led to it being described as a super grain. Let’s make a salad using this super grain.

1

Wash the quinoa and soak it in cold water, cover and leave overnight.

The next day, grill the peppers for about 5-10 minutes turning them often until charred all over. Set them aside until cool enough to handle.
3

Drain the quinoa and transfer to a muslin lined steamer. Cook it covered for about 10 minutes or until the grains are puffed and tender.
4

Heat oil in a pan. Fry garlic, onion, chilli and spices for 3-4 minutes. Transfer it to a bowl and stir in cooked quinoa and tomatoes. Peel and deseed the charred peppers. Chop and stir it into quinoa bowl. Drizzle some olive oil, the vinegar and season to taste. Serve warm or allow to cool.
