Quinoa or Millet with Cumin & Cayenne-Roasted Chickpeas 
Picture

Millet, a gluten-free whole grain, is the base for this warming vegan main course; quinoa, also gluten-free works just as well. Cumin and cayenne work in tandem to add a savoury, spicy, anticancer edge to the meal.


INGREDIENTS
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 cup (250 mL) quinoa (my choice over millet)
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) whole cumin seeds
  • 2 cups (500 mL) broth, vegetable or chicken
  • 1 cup (250 mL) chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cups (500 mL) canned chickpeas, dried of any excess water
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) cayenne
  • 1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) salt
  • 1/3 cup (80 mL) unsalted pistachios, chopped
  • 1/2 lemon, cut into wedges, for serving

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 400°F .

Heat 1 Tbsp (15 mL) oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add quinoa or millet and cumin seeds; toast for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add broth. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 25 minutes (millet) or 15 minutes (quinoa). Remove from heat and steam, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork and stir in parsley. Transfer to serving platter. Meanwhile, roast chickpeas.

On large rimmed baking sheet, toss chickpeas with remaining 1 Tbsp (15 mL) oil, cumin, cayenne, and salt. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until crispy (a few may pop). Scatter chickpeas over millet and sprinkle with pistachios. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled with lemon wedges.
