Rapini with Quinoa and Glazed Carrots

This is a wonderful dinner. If you’re not into cooking quinoa then switch it for brown rice, or your choice of pasta!

Rapini Recipe Ingredients:

• 1 cup (250 mL) quinoa
• 1/2 lb (250 g) rapini, roughly chopped
• 2 tbsp (25 mL) olive oil
• 1 1/2 tbsp (20 mL) balsamic vinegar
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 carrot, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• lemon juice from 1/2 lemon

Rapini Recipe Instructions:

1. Cook quinoa. (See Cooking Quinoa: How to Cook Quinoa), or choice of pasta or brown rice.
2. Remove about 1/4 inch from base of rapini stalks. In a skillet, saute the onion, carrot and garlic until the onions are slightly browned. Add the rapini and saute until they start to wilt. Remove from heat. Stir in the quinoa. Add the balsamic vinegar and lemon juice. Mix all ingredients together. Serve!
