Thai Quinoa with Red Curry Drizzle

• 1 can (13 Oz. Size) Coconut Milk, Chilled In The Fridge Overnight Or Freezer For 30 Minutes
• 1 whole Lime
• 1 Tablespoon Red Curry Paste, Plus More If Desired
• 2 cups Uncooked Quinoa
• 1 bunch Asparagus,Tough End Removed Then Cut Speers Into 1-inch Pieces
• 1/2 whole Jalapeno, Finely Chopped
• 1 teaspoon Thai Seasoning Blend, Optional
• 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes, Halved Or Quartered If Large
• 1 whole Medium Cucumber Or 1/2 English Cucumber, Diced
• 1 cup Loosely Packed Basil Leaves, Torn
• Sriracha, To Taste

1. In a small bowl, combine the flesh (thick white part) of the chilled coconut milk with the juice of half the lime and the curry paste to form a sauce.
2. Taste, and add more curry paste or Sriracha if youd like.
3. Set the sauce aside.
4. Add the coconut water (liquid from the coconut milk) into a measuring cup and add enough water to the liquid to create enough liquid to cook the quinoa to package directions.
5. Cook the quinoa and coconut water mixture according to package directions then set aside to cool for a few minutes.
6. While the quinoa is cooking, bring a pot of water to a simmer, then add the asparagus and cook for 90 seconds.
7. Then remove asparagus from the water and set aside to cool.
8. When the quinoa is cooked and has cooled slightly, add the minced jalapeno, Thai seasoning, lime zest, the rest of the lime juice, and a sprinkle of salt to the quinoa.
9. Stir, and taste: add more salt if youd like.
10. Add the tomatoes, cucumber, asparagus, and basil.
11. Stir gently to incorporate the veggies, and taste once more for seasoning.
12. Serve with the curry drizzle over top and some Sriracha, if youd like.
13. Enjoy!
14. Notes: If you dont have a Thai seasoning blend just leave it outthe other seasonings will be plenty!
15. If you like a stronger citrus flavor, use two limes: one in the drizzle and one in the quinoa.
