Hey Guys, I'm Fatima from Yama Kitchen
First of all I'd like to wish you all a wonderful 2017
In the spirit of starting fresh this year
And eating healthier, making better and healthier chocies
I'd like to share with you three delicious quinoa bowl recipes
You're going to need a good amount of quinoa that you can make in advance
and then keep eating it throughout the week with different seasonings, salads and toppings
and today I'm showing you my 3 favourite ways to make these bowls awesome
so let's go over the ingredients
First of all, as I've already mentioned we're gonna need some quinoa
it is really easy to make
you need to wash your quinoa before cooking it
I've washed this ahead of time
I ran it under cold water with the help of a drainer
because the outside of the quinoa is covered with a bitter substance
so basically if we didn't wash it off the quinoa would be inedible
but if we wash it over once and then cook it twice as much water as the quinoa, it'll be perfect
You can add some salt once it's fully cooked
but the other ingredients will add really rich flavours to the quinoa anyways
The first combo that I came up with is going to be a chicken quinoa bowl
I'm going to garnish the chicken with oriental spices like tumeric, cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic
I'm goin to add a ton of egg plant that I'll caramellise with all the spices and it'll be really yummy fried I just love it
I'm also going to make a fresh salad on the side-because I love adding crunchy, fresh veggies to my cooked meals
the salad is also going to be an oriental type of salad
I'm going to add some cherry tomatoes, cucumber cut into small cubes, parsley or cillantro
I prefer cilantro but I could only find parsley at the store
And a good amount of lemon juice is going on top of the salad to finish it off
The next topping that I choose is actually prawns
I'll season this with spices and honey
I'm going to add oregano, garlic, cayenne pepper because I can't get enough of it so I just had to add a little bit in here too
I'll also add a generous amount of lemon juice because it completes all kinds of seafood very well
and then I'll add some red onions
and some red and yellow bell peppers
I'll let this veggie mixture fry and combine together and then I'll fry up the prawns
The third quinoa bowl will be completely vegetarian
I'll fry up some cubed sweet potatoes
It will caramellise and so it'll become even sweeter
I'll also add some red kidney beans. I'm using canned beans here but
It has a great nutritional value
It's very filling so it's a great choice if you don't eat meat
I'll put half on avocado on top, sprinkle it with some lime juice
And that'd be the three versions of quinoa bowls. Let's get started on the chicken-eggplant one.
To make the chicken, heat up a pan with the olive oil
I'm using a non-stick pan
Add the garlic and the spices, then the chicken and finally the eggplant
We'll cook the whole thing until it becomes golden brown and looks like a stew
To make the prawns, heat up a pan with some olive oil
I'll add the spices and fry the prawns in this spicy oil
Then I'll set them aside on a papertowel
And then in the same oil I'll sauté the veggies
and this is how it'll become a really delicious mixture of flavours
To make the veggie bowl sauté the sweet potatoes in olive oil with some salt and pepper
it's done when all the sides are golden brown
As you can see everything is ready to be served
First, I'll prepare the chicken quinoa bowl with the salad
The base of our bowl is of course the quinoa, I'll make a bed for the toppings
This is the foundation if you will
It's so fluffy when it's cooked. I really love the texture of it.
When I first tried to make quinoa I didn't wash it
and it was so bitter that I thought it's impossible to make something yummy out of it
but luckily, I was wrong :)
It usually fills me up pretty quickly so this is a huge portion
but I want this to be pretty so I don't mind if it's a bit too much
Let's add the chicken
And we also have a salad here that'll be done in no time
because I already chopped up the vegetables
I'll toss them around a bit
I'll squeez some lemon juice over
and I'll also pour some extra virgin olive oil to the mixture
Next I'll add a big pile of salad
I also leave a qurter of a lemon on the plate just to make sure it's enough
For the final touch I'll sprinkle some feta cheese on the very top. This salty flavour goes well with all the other spices in this dish
and the chicken quinoa bowl is done
Now it's time to serve the prawns with the quinoa
I'm going to use a plate made of sugarcane
Just like before
I'll fill this plate up with quinoa
let's add the prawns
they're so pink and pretty
when I first saw a prawn uncooked
I couldn't imagine that it'll change colour like this once fried
because when they're still grey...well they don't look that apppealing
I'll add the satuéed veggies
Look at these beautiful colours
In the winter it's great to find the way to bring colours on the plates
They say the more colourful your plate is the healthier your diet is.
As a final touch, let's squeez some lemon juice on top of our prawns
And we're done with the second bowl.
For the veggie bowl, let's make a bed of quinoa once again on the sugarcane plate
Let's add the sweet potato-bean mixture
scoop out half an avocado, it'll make this dish super creamy
place it in the middle of the bowl
For me it's crutial to add some lemon juice on top of the avocado
so I'll squeez some on top
Aaand we're done with the third, vegetarian quiona bowl
