Mixed Grain Curry Pilaf

My latest obsession: green peas :)

Lately I've been enjoying frozen peas as a easy snack

or throwing them into salads and mixed grain pilafs.

They seriously add such a delicate accent to every type of dish. 

And green peas are also lighter than beans in terms of carbs,

and packed with some good protein,

so I've been indulging just a little here and there. Hehe. 

I tossed some red quinoa, brown rice, wild rice & peas,

with some EVOO, kosher salt, and curry spice,

and it satiated me nicely. 

Cold weather always makes me crave anything curry spiced. :)

Mixed Grain Curry Pilaf

1 cup quinoa, cooked

1/2 cup brown rice, cooked

1/2 cup wild rice, cooked

2/3 cup green peas

1 tsp curry powder 

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

1/4 tsp kosher salt

Directions:

1. On medium low heat, toss cooked quinoa, brown rice, wild rice, and green peas for a couple of minutes. 

2. Add in EVOO and toss. 

3. Then add in curry powder and kosher salt, and toss for 2-3 minutes. 

4. Serve warm. 

To note: Substitute in any spices that pleases your palate. I keep a pack of frozen brown rice, frozen wild rice, and frozen green peas in my freezer to save cooking time when I'm on the go.  Quinoa cooks within 20 minutes, so I usually keep the grain in bulk in my refridge.
