Curried Tabouleh

9/26/2022

This recipe is a great addition to your salad for a different flavour profile from the standard tabouleh.

I like to pair this with the Compliant Golden Yum Dressing or Compliant Delicious Dressing for a unique flavor on my salad. You can substitute rice for quinoa for a side dish or with steamed vegetables.

Curried Quinoa Ingredients:

1 cup rinsed quinoa
2 cups of filtered water
2 tsps. raisins or 1 date
2 tsps. curry powder
1 tsp. sumac* or your favorite no salt seasoning
1 tsp. turmeric
8 turns of black pepper
¼ tsp. each: cayenne flakes, cumin and dried coriander
⅛ tsp. cinnamon and ground cloves

Method

Add 1 cup of water and raisins or date to a blender. Let soak if possible then blend and set aside.
Rinse the quinoa and add it to a medium sized pot.
Add raisin slurry to the pot and the 2nd cup of water.
Add all the spices and herbs directly to the pot and stir.
Bring to a boil, cover with a lid and reduce heat to minimum. Cook for 20 minutes and no peaking.
After 20 minutes, remove from heat and let cool with or without lid.

Curried Tabouleh Ingredients:

Cooked and cooled quinoa
1 can of chickpeas, rinsed
¼ red onion, diced
1 tomato, deseeded and diced
½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 2 limes

Method

In a large bowl (with lid), combine the quinoa, chickpeas, red onion, tomato, fresh cilantro and lime juice.
Mix until thoroughly combined. Cover with a lid and store in the fridge. This keeps for about a week.

Note*: You can buy sumac online or in some health food stores. It is a red powder and has sort of a lemony taste. It works well as a salt substitute in some dishes. If you can’t find it you can omit it from the recipe.

Compliant Delicious Dressing

9/1/2022

Comments

I have created this dressing with two versions. One is a standard dressing and the other is a creamy version. This dressing is great on baby mixed greens or any salad you are making.
This recipe is oil and sugar free so you can enjoy as much of it as you like. It has lots of turmeric in it which is super supportive for those with cancer and protective for those who want to stay cancer-free.

Ingredients:

1 cup water
2 tsps. chia seeds
1 tsp. or 3-4 raisins
½ cup red wine vinegar
1 Tbs. grated fresh turmeric (or 1 tsp. dry)
2 tsp. ground cumin
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tsp. lite tamari
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
½ tsp. black pepper (or 10 turns of a pepper mill to activate the turmeric)

Ingredient for Creamy Version:

2 cups steamed cauliflower or 1 cup Chef AJs Honey Mustard Dressing

Method:

Combine the water, chia seeds and raisins in a glass and let sit for an hour or overnight. This will help the chia to set and rehydrate the raisins so the dressing will blend smooth. Note: If you are making the creamy version, steam your cauliflower now and set aside to cool or store overnight in the fridge.
Combine the chia seed mixture and the remaining ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Remember to add the cauliflower for the creamy version too.
Store dressing in glass jars in the fridge. The basic version makes about 1 ½ cups. The creamy version makes 2 ½ cups of dressing.
