1 cup of white quinoa
2 cups of fingerling potatoes, cubed

Pesto:
1 cup of fresh basil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup of raw walnuts
2 tablespoons of pecorino romano cheese
Juice of 1 lemon
Sea salt / black pepper to taste

Boil 2 cups of water in medium-sized pot. When water is boiling, add quinoa and lower heat. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until quinoa is done. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

While quinoa is cooking, in a large pot, boil 4 cups of water. Add cubed potatoes when water is boiling. Boil potatoes for 10-15 minutes until done. Strain and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine quinoa and potatoes. Let cool.

In a food processor or blender, add all pesto ingredients. Pulse until it forms a chunky but somewhat smooth consistency. You may need to add water, continue to add water until you achieve the desired consistency.

Serve quinoa with pesto arranged in a narrow row on top. Enjoy!
