Pushing boundaries like a punk/grunge late 90’s Gwen Stefani outfit, but with less space buns
and more artichokes.

QUINOA SALAD WITH ARTICHOKES AND PARSLEY

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 shallots, diced
1 spring of fresh thyme, leaves removed
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
1.5 cups chicken stock
1 (398ml) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
Zest and juice of ½ lemon
½ cup chopped Italian parsley
½ teaspoon salt
MAKE IT:
1. Heat oil in a medium pot. Add in shallots and thyme. Cook for 2 minute until softened.

2. Add the quinoa and let it toast for 3 minutes then add the chicken stock. Bring to a
simmer, cover and let cook for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.

3. Remove from heat, stir in the artichokes, salt, lemon zest, lemon juice and parsley.

4. Serve warm or room temperature. Even better the next day.
