METHOD
-
Put 2 cups of water, butter and quinoa in a pot and cover. Simmer for about 15-20mins till soft and done. Fluff with a fork.
-
In a medium skillet, add 1 tablespoon of oil and saute onions, carrot, and celery until translucent. Then add the quinoa and season with salt and black pepper. Saute for another minute.
-
Add the raisins, pistachio and chopped parsley, stir. Cover and keep aside
-
In a blender, puree the mango. Add water if necessary. Transfer to a sauce pan and bring to a simmer. You may need to keep adding water a tablespoon at a time to adjust consistency.
-
Season with cumin, salt, secret spice, sugar and black pepper. Allow to simmer for another minute.
-
To make carrot chips, using a potato peeler, peel long shavings off the carrot and deep fry in vegetable oil for about a minute till a little crispy. Take care so it doesn't burn, take out and place on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
-
Assemble your quinoa with the mango soup and carrot crisp and top with arugula. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the arugula.

Bon appetite!
