Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

Moroccan Style Quinoa


main dish, vegetarian, moroccan

1 cup chickpeas, soaked
1 each 2strip kombu sea weed
3 small onions, quartered
1 cup carrots, cut in chunks
1 cup turnips, cut in chunks
1 stock
1 teaspoon salt
2 each garlic cloves
1 each bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 pepper, to taste
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 cup whole brussels sprouts
2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cup quinoa

In a 3-qt. pot, bring chickpeas, kombu and soaking water to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium and boil for 2 hours. Add water as necessary so that water just covers the chickpeas. Remove 2 c. liquid from the pot and set aside in a 2-qt. pot. Place onions, carrots and turnips on top of the chickpeas and add enough water or stock to just cover vegetables. Add salt, garlic, bay, cumin, pepper and olive oil. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce to light boil and cook for 40 minutes. Add Brussels sprouts and cook an additional 10 minutes. Adjust seasoning. While vegetables and chickpeas continue to cook, add 2 c. water and salt to the stock in the 2-qt. pot and bring to a boil. Heat a thin pan, add oil and, while stirring continuously, toast quinoa for 10 minutes. Add to boiling stock, cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Gently mix from top to bottom with a damp wooden spoon. Cover pot and allow to rest for another 5 to 10 minutes. Serve by placing a large mound of quinoa on each individual plate. Flatten the mound in the center and fill with vegetables and chickpeas. Pour 1/2 c. of hot stock over all and serve hot.
