I spent the weekend indoors. A winter storm that left roads and sidewalks with a thick coating of ice has left me with no desire to venture out. A quiet few days were spent reading, baking, and cooking. Dinner last night... roast chicken along with a salad of black beans and quinoa. a recipe by Ken Oringer for Food & Wine, slightly adapted • 1 cup quinoa • 3 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar • 1 tablespoon soy sauce • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice • 1 chipotle in adobo, minced * 3 16-ounce cans black beans, rinsed and drained • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil • 6 scallions, white and light green parts only, finely sliced • 1 small red onion, finely diced • 1 yellow bell pepper, finely diced • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro 1. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cover the saucepan and simmer the quinoa over low heat until the water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Spread the quinoa on a plate and let cool. 2. In a large bowl, whisk the vinegar, soy sauce, lime juice and chipotle. Add the olive oil in a thin stream, whisking until blended. Add the black beans, quinoa, scallions, red onion, yellow pepper and cilantro. Season with salt, toss to combine and serve. • The salad can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight.
