It's been a long time since I've shared a recipe and maybe, today you'll figure out why.
My meals are looking uglier every day. They are soggy, pasty and 90% of the time they come in a bowl.
Are they delicious? Yes! Of course.
But they are not picture-perfect-blogger-friendly.
This was my lunch yesterday. I mixed whatever I had in my fridge and it ended up being one of the most delicious ugly-looking meals I've had since I started eating Quinoa.
It was sort of a Mexican meets Greek style but I didn't use black olives. Although it could have used some but really...I had none.
I used:
- 1 cucumber
- 1 tomato
- A bunch of cilantro
- Feta cheese
- Juice of half lime
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Cooked Quinoa
I chopped the cucumber, tomato and cilantro and made what some people know as Pico de Gallo. I added salt, olive oil and lime. I still had half of what I made to save for later. If you do end up making a lot -like I did- be sure to add lime only to what you are eating. Saving it with added lime makes it a little bit bitter.
I added it on top of the Quinoa.
For the Greek part I topped it with Feta cheese crumbs and gave it a final stir.
Heinz had this for dinner and he was yumming while eating. Always a good sign.
Does it happen to you? do you find that the not-so-perfect looking meals end up being the most delicious ones? yes? no?
