Plantain Seed-Quinoa Pilaf

Quinoa is a light, tasty, high-protein, grain-like seed that’s becoming increasingly popular in health food circles. This dish is crunchy, light and nutritious.

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • ¼ cup common Plantain seed capsules
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh basil or 2 tsp dried basil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tsp sea salt, or to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil


Bring the water to a boil and add the quinoa and Plantain seeds. When the grains are fluffy, turn off the heat and add the remaining ingredients. Let sit for five minutes before serving.
