Basic Quinoa Recipe (without a steamer)

1 Cup Quinoa
3 Cups Water

Soak the qiuinoa. This is important to do because some of the bitter saponin covering on the grain can still be present even though most quinoa is washed before being sold. Then rinse thoroughly either by using a strainer or by running the fresh water over the Quinoa in a pot. The grain needs to be thoroughly rinsed until the water runs clear. Drain excess water.

Place Quinoa and water with which to cook in a 1 1/2 quart sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until all of the water is absorbed (about 15 minutes.) You will know that the quinoa is done when the water has turned from white to transparent, and the spiral-like germ has separated. It is best to use a slow cooker or a rice cooker for all grain dishes on the low setting in order to keep as much of the enzymes intact as possible.

2 T. Nama Shoyu
1 Cup Chopped Courgette( Zucchini),
3 bunches Scallion, chopped

1/2 cup Celery Juice

Fig Fiesta Appetizer

6-8 Fresh Raspberries
Spearmint leaves, for garnishing (optional)
4 Fresh Ripe Figs

Let the fig stand in a vertical position, resting on the thick, flat portion of the bottom of the fruit. Carefully cut stem along with a small portion of the top of the fig, creating a cap like effect to cover the fig later.

Scoop out insides very carefully so as not to pierce the skin of the fruit. Place scooped portion in a bowl, add raspberries and mash together with a fork blending well. With a small spoon or funnel, stuff this mixture back in the fig, and cover with the top that was cut off at the beginning.

Serve on a white serving plate or platter, and drizzle sides of serving receptacle with the syrupy remains of the mashed fig/raspberry mixture. Garnish with spearmint leaves.
