See all
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium carrot, finely diced
½ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
⅓ cup frozen peas
Ingredient note
Candida diets often limit peas early on because they are high in starch. This recipe works out to only about 1 1/2 tablespoons of peas per serving, which is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid peas, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
3 tbsp pine nuts
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

For serving

lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Place the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water for 30 seconds, then drain well.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
