Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the quinoa
- Rinse the quinoa.
In a small sauce pot, combine the quinoa and 1 cup [2 cups] lightly salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm. Meanwhile, prepare the pickled onion.
2
Pickle the onion
- Peel and thinly slice enough onion to measure ½ cup [1 cup].
In a small bowl, stir together the onion, sumac, and red wine vinegar. Season with salt and toss to coat. Let stand, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the meal.
3
Sear the beets
- Cut a small corner from the beet packaging and drain off any excess liquid; cut the beets into 1-inch pieces and pat dry with a paper towel.
In a medium frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the beets, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients.
4
Prep the remaining ingredients; finish the tabbouleh
- Core and cut the apple into ½-inch pieces.
- Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.
- Drain the onion, reserving the pickling liquid.
In a large bowl, combine the kale with the pickling liquid and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] oil and gently massage the leaves. Add the apple, parsley, onion, and quinoa and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the beets to individual bowls and top with the quinoa tabbouleh salad. Garnish with the walnuts and serve.
