Quinoa with Roasted Garlic and Roasted Red Pepper

Thursday, February 11th, 2010 Print This Post Print This Post USer rating

½ of a head of garlic, roasted*
1 cup quinoa
1 ½ cups water or vegetable stock
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup roasted red peppers, from a jar, chopped
½ cup yellow onion, chopped
¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Wash the quinoa in cold water and drain. Heat oil in a 2 quart stockpot. Sauté onion until soft and caramelized, about 7 minutes. Add water or stock and bring to a boil. Add quinoa. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 12 minutes. Turn off the heat. Add the roasted garlic, red peppers, basil, salt and pepper. Mix well. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Roasted Garlic
1 head garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil

Slice the top off the head of the garlic. Drizzle olive oil over the top of the garlic. Wrap tightly in aluminum foil (you may want to put the foil around the garlic, drizzle the oil and then close the foil to get the oil all around the garlic and not create a mess). Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Roast garlic until soft about 30 minutes. The cloves should slide out of the peel and mash easily when done.

Brisket

Thursday, February 11th, 2010 Print This Post Print This Post USer rating

I use this recipe during the year and on Pesach. It never fails.
1 (5-6 pound) brisket
1 onion, sliced
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
½ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons paprika
1 (14 ounce) can tomato soup

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place brisket in roasting pan and cover with the remaining ingredients in the order listed. Bake for 3 hours until soft, checking halfway through to see if you need to add any water ( but you shouldn’t). If not for immediate consumption, allow brisket to cool, then slice. Return meat to gravy for reheating
