Güney Amerika’da yetişen bir çeşit bulgur olarak niteleyebileceğimiz quinoa, yüksek protein içerdiği için vejetaryen beslenmede önemi giderek artan bir yiyecek.
David Lynch de bir kamu hizmeti yaparak bu çok sevdiği yiyeceğin nasıl pişirildiğini kendine yakışan bir videoyla paylaşmış. 2006’da Inland Empire DVD’sinde ekstra olarak yer alan video yıllar sonra ortaya çıkınca biz de paylaşalım dedik.
“Lynch filmleri gibi olmuş, tariften bir şey anlamadım” diyenlere de tarifin ingilizcesini paylaşalım.
Yield: 1 bowl
Cooking Time: 17 minutes
Ingredients:
1/2 cup quinoa
1 1/2 cups organic broccoli (chilled, from bag)
1 cube vegetable bullion
Braggs Liquid Aminos
Extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt
Preparation:
* Fill medium saucepan with about an inch of fresh water.
* Set pan on stove, light a nice hot flame add several dashes of sea salt.
* Look at the quinoa. It’s like sand, this quinoa. It’s real real tight little grains, but it’s going to puff up.
* Unwrap bullion cube, bust it up with a small knife, and let it wait there. It’ll be happy waiting right there.
* When water comes to a boil, add quinoa and cover pan with lid. Reduce heat and simmer for 8 minutes.
* Meanwhile, retrieve broccoli from refrigerator and set aside, then fill a fine crystal wine glass—one given to you by Agnes and Maya from Lódz, Poland—with red wine, ‘cause this is what you do when you’re making quinoa. Go outside, sit, take a smoke and think about all the little quinoas bubbling away in the pan.
* Add broccoli, cover and let cook for an additional 7 minutes.
* Meanwhile, go back outside and tell the story about the train with the coal-burning engine that stopped in a barren, dust-filled landscape on a moonless Yugoslavian night in 1965. The story about the frog moths and the small copper coin that became one room-temperature bottle of violet sugar water, six ice-cold Coca-colas, and handfuls and handfuls of silver coins.
* Turn off heat, add bullion to quinoa and stir with the tip of the small knife you used to bust up the bullion.
* Scoop quinoa into bowl using a spoon. Drizzle with liquid amino acids and olive oil. Serve and enjoy.
