2 cups Quinoa (1 regular, 1 red)

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt & pepper

2 ¾ water

 

For Pesto dressing:

¼ cup basil leaves

1 tbsp avocado oil

Also:

1 1/2 cup sweet plum tomatoes (halved)

Quinoa: 

On high heat, heat olive oil in medium pot, add quinoa, salt, pepper and stir for 1 minute then add water.  When water are boiling, close lid, turn down to low heat and let it cook for 15-20 min. Let cool for 10 min.

Peas: 

Heat coconut oil in a medium skillet, add minced onion and cook till onions get a little caramelized (about 3-4 min) then add soy chorizo (make sure you take off the casing first) and stir in. Cook for another minute then add peas. Cook for 30 seconds then turn off heat. Add salt and pepper if needed and stir again.

Pesto: 

Everything into a food processor!

 

In a large bowl add the tomatoes, tofu, peas mixture and pesto, quinoa and mix everything together using two spoons. 

 

optional: Add some dried cranberries for a little sweetness!

 

Serve hot, cold or in room temperature- it’s delicious either way! Enjoy!
