Ingredients
- 1 package (6 oz) Melissa's Red Quinoa (white quinoa would be nice here as well)
- 2 1/3 cups water
- kosher salt
- honey
- 3 strips of Melissa's Ojai Pixie Tangerine zest (any tangerine or orange would work here, plus additional grated zest for sprinkling)
- 1/4 cup almonds, toasted and chopped
- 1 Melissa's Steamed Red Beet*, coarsely grated (about 1/3 cup)
- 2 Melissa's Oja Pixie Tangerines, skin removed and segments chopped (any tangerine or orange would work here)
- whole milk ricotta cheese
Instructions
- Place red quinoa in a fine mesh strainer, and rinse under cold, running water for a few minutes. Set aside.
- Add water to a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the quinoa, a pinch of kosher salt, a squeeze of honey, and the tangerine zest, stirring to combine. Return the mixture to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until the quinoa has absorbed all of the water (25 - 35 minutes). Fish out tangerine zest and discard.
- Place most of the chopped almonds, grated beets, and chopped tangerines in a large bowl (reserve a little bit of each for garnish). Drizzle over 2 tablespoons of honey, gently stirring to combine. Add cooked quinoa, and gently toss to combine.
- Divide quinoa between 2 bowls (or 4 small bowls). Scatter over reserved chopped almonds, grated beets, and chopped tangerines. Add a dollop of ricotta to each bowl, and finish with a sprinkling of grated tangerine zest. Serve with additional honey and ricotta.
Notes
- *You can also purchase precooked beets at Trader Joe’s. If you can’t find this product, simply roast beets at home. Wash the beetroot, dry, then place on a square of foil. Drizzle with a little olive oil, and season with kosher salt and pepper. Bring the foil up around the beet, sealing the edges. Bake in a 400°F oven until tender (about 1 hour). Let the beet cool, unwrap, and peel off skins.
