Quinoa Sardine Tabbouleh
with Garlic Anchovy Pita Chips

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch parsley, leaves removed from stem and finely chopped
  • 1 cup quartered grape tomatoes
  • ½ English cucumber, diced
  • 1 ½ cup cooked quinoa (see notes)
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 can Crown Prince Natural Brisling Sardines in Mustard, drained and broken up
  • salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions

Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Combine well and season to taste.

Serve with pita chips and fresh vegetables such as celery, cucumber, sweet peppers or carrots.

Serves: 4

Notes

Quinoa can be cooked similar to rice. The ratio is 1 cup of quinoa to 2 cups of water. Place quinoa and water in a pot large enough to accommodate the contents. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to a simmer. Leave uncovered until majority of water has evaporated. Cover with a lid and turn off the burner. Leave the pot covered for at least 10 minutes for the quinoa to finish cooking with the residual heat. Transfer cooked quinoa to a sheet tray or shallow baking dish to completely cool before adding to any salad. Cooked quinoa can be stored in the refrigerator for up to seven days.

Meet Chef Jan Hill

Hi, I’m Chef Jan Hill! I am a first-generation immigrant from Laos. I grew up and settled in the Southern California area before moving to Atlanta in July of 2018.

My culinary career started in fine dining at the one Michelin star rated Ortolan in Los Angeles. Since then, I have worked in many different areas of the culinary world ranging from teaching kids’ cooking classes to working in the culinary department of University of Southern California to many famed and well-known resorts in the Palm Springs area. Since becoming a Georgian I have also created food for scenes in Black Lightning and The Resident.

I believe cooking and food is what every culture has in common. We all need to eat to survive, but food itself brings families and friends across cultures together. I live to eat and cook amazing food; I do not eat and cook amazing food to live.
