Preparation
Cook the quinoa
- Using a strainer, rinse the quinoa.
- In a medium pot, combine the quinoa, 1 cup water (double for 4 portions) and a pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 16 to 18 min., until tender. Fluff the quinoa.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, halve the cucumber lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½ inch pieces.
- Medium-dice the tomato.
- Thinly slice the scallion crosswise.
- In a small bowl, make the brown butter by microwaving 3 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions), in 30 sec. increments, until lightly browned (watch closely as it can burn quickly).
- Add the maple syrup and ⅓ of the lemon juice; stir well.
Warm the falafels
- Tear the falafels into bite-size pieces.
- In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the falafels and cook, turning often, 4 to 6 min., until warmed through.
Make the salad
- In a medium bowl, combine the tomato, cucumber, scallion, dill, remaining lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil and S&P.
Finish & serve
- To the pot of quinoa, add ⅔ of the brown butter; stir well.
- To the bowl of remaining brown butter, add the vinaigrette; stir well.
- Divide the quinoa between your plates.
- Top with the falafels and salad.
- Drizzle with the brown butter vinaigrette. Bon appétit!
