In The Vega Kitchen: Red Quinoa Rice Paper Wraps

“Appy Fridays” here at Sequel really brighten up our Fridays, and have brought us some delicious treats over the months. Last week was no different! Susan’s Red Quinoa Rice Paper Wraps were loved by everyone – and the recipe was begging to be shared with all of you. Here is the recipe, according to Susan:

I really just opened my fridge and threw in a bunch of random things… so here goes…

It can get interesting - use what you have and buy what you need. This comes from the same principles I have for fashion: “shop when you shop and wear what you have”. I find that fashion and cooking are very similar; both are creative expressions of who you are.

Red Quinoa Rice Paper Wraps

Red Quinoa (because red is a pretty colour)

Cook Quinoa and place in large bowl

Carrots

Beets (there weren’t beets in the one I made but after the fact I wished there had been)

Purple Cabbage

Green Onions

Peppers (any colour will work great)

Celery

Toasted Pecans

Dried Cranberries

Parsley (you could also use cilantro, and if you do replace the lemon with lime for the dressing)

Feel free to add other veggies…anything goes

Grate or Julienne Veggies

Dressing

Juice of a Lemon

Few teaspoons of Apricot Jam (organic from the Okanagan works best!)

Vega EFA Oil

Hot Sauce (from Thailand of course)

3 or so Cloves of Garlic

Salt & Pepper to taste

Toss everything together until mixed - be gentle.

“Cook” Rice Paper in warm water until soft. I layer two together so they don’t rip. Place some of the Quinoa Salad mixture in the center of the wrap, rock and roll!

Comment by Marianne on July 28, 2010 at 9:46am: Awesoem recipe! One note - I've often found it hard handle the cooked rice paper. it sticks together as i take it out of the pan and it tears, and i curse and everything's a mess.Then I learned a method where I put the rice paper on a plate - wet a brush with warm water and stroke it across the rice paper until it gets as soft as I want it. It makes the paper pliable enough to work with, but not too wet.
