  4. 4 tablespoons of cooked quinoa
  5. 1 sprig each of fresh mint and parsley
  6. Olive oil
  7. Salt, black pepper

Instructions

  1. Add plenty of olive oil to a pot. When the oil is slightly heated, add the onions cut into half-moon shapes and sauté until the onions are softened. (Over medium heat)
  2. Thoroughly wash the artichokes and place them in a bowl.
  3. Add enough water to cover the artichokes and rub them well with half a lemon. Let them sit in the water.
  4. Once the onions are sautéed, add the artichokes to the pot.
  5. Add enough water to half-cover the artichokes (you can use the water the artichokes were sitting in).
  6. Squeeze the remaining half lemon over the artichokes.
  7. Turn on the stove. Once the water starts to boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the artichokes are tender.
  8. When the artichokes are cooked, place them on a plate to cool.
  9. Put the cooked quinoa in a bowl.
  10. Add the chopped greens, spices, and a bit of olive oil to the quinoa. Mix well. You can also add pomegranate molasses and lemon juice if desired.
  11. Once the artichokes have cooled, place the sautéed onions from the pot on top of them. Add the quinoa mixture and serve.
