五個"字"搞掂 - 彩虹藜麥沙律 / Cooking 5x5min - Rainbow Quinoa salad

 藜麥營養豐富, 成為近期大熱食材, 它的好處我不在這裡細數了。 這款沙律配搭多樣, 只須到市場採購當季蔬果, 加上沙律汁, 便可作醒胃前菜或主食. 配搭茄剛才分享的南瓜湯, 即成健康晚餐!

材料 (3-4人份):
2                     紅菜頭(熟)
1罐/ 400克  粟米粒
半條             青瓜
1-2                番茄 (選軟身因較多汁)
1/2杯           藜麥
適量             苜蓿芽
6湯匙           橄欖油
2湯匙           紅酒醋
1茶匙           第戎芥末

做法:
1. 洗淨藜麥, 加1 杯熱水用中火煲15分鐘
2. 將所有蔬菜(除苜蓿芽及粟米)切小粒, 分層放入樽內或其他容器
3. 將橄欖油, 紅酒醋,第戎芥末, 適量鹽及黑胡椒粉拌勻成沙律汁
4. 藜麥煮熟後隔篩用冷水沖洗, 用叉子拌稍為蓬鬆後放入樽內或其他容器.
5. 吃的時候將材料攪拌上碟, 隨喜好加入沙律汁

貼心提示:
1. 煮藜麥分享: a. 藜麥要洗淨去澀味 b. 藜麥和水比例 1:2 c. 生/熟藜麥比例 1:3
2. 沙律汁油醋比例 1:3
3. 家裡沒有紅酒醋嗎? 其實簡單如橄欖油 + 檸檬汁 + 鹽 + 黑胡椒粉也很不錯. 你亦可參考英國廚師Jamie Oliver 的4款沙律汁食譜 (英文) http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/recipe/jam-jar-dressings/
4. 配搭番茄南瓜湯省時做法 - 先煮湯, 運用小火煲湯時做沙律, 便可於一小時內(或更快!)預備好晚餐
5. 蔬果的配搭沒有特定, 可隨你發揮. 當然選色彩鮮豔的材料賣相更好看!

2. 用中高火燒熱鍋, 放入牛油, 溶化後加入切碎菇菌翻炒5分鐘
