Introduction

Yet another happy home for leftovers. As with most of my recipes it's very flexible and forgiving if you have a different assortment of veggies. Make the tahini sauce separately and pour it on as a condiment. Yet another happy home for leftovers.

Ingredients

    2.5 cup Ancient Harvest Quinoa
    .33 cup Wild Rice
    1 oz onions, raw, purple/red (1 slice)
    .5 cup, cubes Yams
    0.2 block Tofu, firm
    7 spear, medium (5-1/4" to 7" lo Asparagus, fresh

    2 clove Garlic
    .15 tsp Coriander seed
    .15 tsp Cumin seed
    3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Tips

The wild rice takes the longest to cook at 50 minutes, so you can do the rest of the prep and cooking at the same time. Use a large cooking pot for the veggies so you'll have room to stir in the quinoa and rice at the end.


Directions

Prepare wild rice and quinoa.

Meanwhile, chop vegetables and tofu into smallish pieces and sautee. Prepare the tahini sauce (the last 6 ingredients) separately and use as a condiment. When wild rice and quinoa are ready, stir in with vegetables and top with tahini sauce.
