Quinoa Spring Rolls with Wild Rice and Cashews (Gluten-Free, Vegan)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup quinoa
- 1/2 cup wild rice blend
- 1 cup cashews
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 3 mini sweet bell peppers or 1 large, chopped
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes
- salt
- sesame oil
- sesame seeds
- sriracha optional
- 12 rice paper wrappers
Method
- In a large pot, combine rinsed quinoa & rice, cover with 2 cups water, bring to a boil, cover & let simmer until done, about 20-25 minutes. Salt to taste. Set aside.
- Toast cashews in a skillet over medium heat in 1 tbs sesame oil until lightly golden. Set aside.
- Steam broccoli until almost done, then pan fry in 1 tbs sesame oil with garlic, bell peppers & chili flakes until all is tender. Let cool.
- Combine all ingredients, salt to taste.
- Preheat oven to 375° F. In a large bowl of warm water, dip one rice wrapper at a time until pliable. Place pliable rice paper wrap on cutting board, spoon a hefty dollop of rice/quinoa mix onto bottom third of wrap. Fold bottom over mix, then fold each side of wrap (one side at a time), then roll all the way up, starting at bottom & tucking tightly as you go. Set aside. Repeat until you have all 12 spring rolls.
- Brush sesame oil over spring rolls, place on cookie sheet & bake for 20 minutes.
- Garnish with sesame seeds & sriracha. Or, alternatively, dip in your favorite gluten-free tamari!
- Enjoy!
