Some modifications that I made to this recipe were that I left out the salt and the prosciutto (doesn't work with my sodium restricted diet). Also, being that it is ramp season, I substituted ramps for the scallions.
For those of you unfamiliar with ramps, also referred to as 'wild leeks', they fall somewhere between a scallion and garlic. They truly are a spring delicacy as they have a very short-lived season - late April to early June. If you come across these at a local farmers market over the next few weeks, give them a try!
If you haven't yet tried Quinoa, this is a fabulous starter recipe for you to try. While considered a grain, Quinoa is a 'complete protein' which means that it contains all 9 essential amino acids.
Quinoa is especially rich in lysine, an amino acid essential in tissue growth and repair.
I personally add it to home-made chili and use it in place of potatoes and rice.
If you have a Quinoa recipe I'd love to hear it! Please post details in the comments section of this posting!!
Train hard; stay strong.
