The fourth Thursday of November is when Americans celebrate Thanks-giving with family and friends. This American of American holidays is a time of stuffing our faces with the bountiful food our country produces, just like our forefathers did in 1621 and every year since then. Being stationed overseas, fighting two wars and supporting ongoing op-erations around the globe, NAVSTA Rota leadership paused to go to the galley and serve the men and women who are supporting the warf-ighters during the annual Thanksgiv-ing meal which was captured in the front page photo by NAVSTA Rota PAO, Lt. Ben Tisdale who was there to cover the event.
While many of us were still in bed comatose from all the turkey, pies and watching football games on AFN, many lined up at the NEX to start the Christmas shopping season on Black Friday. MC2 Kara Moore was there with more than 150 service members and their families as they waited for the doorbuster bargains. Even here in Rota, the tradition of Black Friday was alive and well.
While many stayed in the local area for the holiday, our editor Jan Hammond went to London with her family and wrote a Vista about trav-eling to this international city without breaking the bank.
Tomorrow NAVSTA Rota holds its annual Christmas Tree lighting ceremony at 5:30 p.m. at the NEX. We hope to see you there as NAVS-TA Rota starts the holiday season.
So sit back back and relax and enjoy this week’s edition of The Coastline.

Are You Giving a 110 Percent To Advance? Hola Team Rota. This week I want to talk about some-thing I am very passionate about and that is advance-ment. Before Thanksgiving the Navy-wide advancement results came out and more than 80 Sailors advanced this
cycle with 55 being picked up as brand new petty officers. Congratulations on your ad-vancement.
When I talk to most folks about advancement, the one area we discover weakness on the exam is in Basic Mili-tary Requirement. For the most part, you know your job and your rating, but what
you really need to study is the BMR. That is why the skipper, XO and myself have decided we are going to make BMR’s mandatory before taking the exam for the next cycle.
Some may ask why we are making the BMR’s man-datory. I am a firm believer if you pass your BMR’s, your chance of passing the exam and advancing goes up exponentially. They will help you put that chevron on and give you more money along with more responsibility.
But advancement is not about the money, it is about doing your job. When you become a third class petty officer, you are at the beginning of your leadership phase in the Navy, but you are a leader.
When you make second class, now you start to think about what you are going to do with your career. Are you staying in or getting out? Are you going to go enlisted to officer program? Or do you want to go the enlisted
route and become a chief petty officer. That is the time you need to decide you want to do that.
As a first class petty officer, do you pursue a commis-sioning program or go chief petty officer? You need to make that decision. You need to give that 110 percent to the choice you have made.
For those who did not advance this cycle, it is time for you to refocus and start building or fine tuning your career. Get with your mentor and find what they did to advance and get where they are.
Remember, your career is in your hands. It truly is. I tell people all the time to plan your career accordingly. You give the Navy 110 percent every day and work towards your goal of building your career by doing the hard jobs and arduous duty, you will be rewarded, but you have to make the tough decisions. So plan accord-ingly, because you are only going to get as much out of your career as you put into it.
It is also up to all of us as leaders to ensure our sub-ordinates get promoted. We all need to be passionate about advancement, from leadership down to those who are taking the exams. We need to mentor our Sailors and guide them in the right direction.
If you want some advice, come see me, and we can talk about your career, and I will show you how to make second class, first class or chief; but it is up to you ultimately to do it. You can not do the status quo any more, you have to go above and beyond if you want to make rate and stay in the Navy. So keep the faith, keep charging and keep studying. AGE QUOD AGIS – CMC
PWD Conducting Solid-Waste SurveyThe Public Works Environmental Division is con-
ducting a solid-waste study now and next week. This will include a review of our trash containers, involving examining the trash and determining the composition of our waste. The study will be base-wide (US only).

It’s that time of year again—when glowing candles, sparkling snowflakes, jingling bells and singing snowmen take center stage, relegating scary Halloween goblins and ghost costumes to the clearance shelves. For many, the holiday season is the busiest and most stressful time of the year, as they host holiday festivities and search for that perfect gift.
Thieves like to take advantage of consumers at this time of year. They exploit the giving nature of the season and turn the elevated stress levels and
Be Wary of Holiday Crime On Line
WASHINGTON (AFPS) -- Recognizing and finding ways to accommodate the changing needs of service members and their families with regard to the military workplace should be a priority for leaders, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said. Adm. Mike Mullen spoke as part of a panel on work and life balance at the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation’s Focus on Workplace Flexibility Conference of more than 100 government, military and business leaders. Nov. 29. “The ability to be the best we can be and carry out our missions is so central to our focus on our people, … but more than our people, our families,” Mullen said, “and while we’ve made significant strides, we still have a long way to go.” Allowing flexible options that affect the number of hours worked and the places where employees work is one way leaders can help in providing balance between work and family life, the chairman said, citing flex time and compressed work weeks, part-time work, job sharing and teleworking as examples. The federal focus on flexibility began March 31, when President Barack Obama spoke at a White House forum about modernizing the workplace to meet the needs of today’s employees and their families. For military leaders, Mullen said more than nine years of war has put a new focus on families. “We have to figure out a way to put our people and our families in the center of our universe and then move from there to generate the kind of success that we’re capable of,” he said. The chairman also told the group the military must continue to move forward in helping its work force balance their jobs and their lives.
Mullen: Military Workplace N e e d s M o r e F l e x i b i l i t yhectic schedules of consumers to their advantage. It’s
important consumers know how to protect themselves from threats that exist on the Web.
As a crime prevention practitioner, I would like to help keep you safe on the Web by passing on some tips.
Before you begin shopping online, secure your computer by updating your security software. Every computer should have anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-spam software, as well as a good firewall. Firewalls and anti-virus software are the first line of defense.
Keep your personal information private and your password secure. Don’t respond to any requests to “verify” your password or credit card information unless you initiated the contact. Legitimate businesses won’t ask for this information.
Beware of bargains from unfamiliar companies. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Use secure websites for purchases. Look for the icon of a locked padlock at the bottom of the screen or “https” in the URL address. They indicate that you are dealing with a secure website.
Shop with companies you know and trust. Check a company’s background if you’re not familiar with it.
Donate to charities online only if you have investigated the charity. Be sure the charity’s site is secure or make your donation through the mail
Consider alternate options to pay for your merchandise, such as onetime or multiuse disposable credit cards or money orders, at online stores and auction sites. Also, make sure you know the rules and policies of these sites.
If you keep these tips in mind as you shop from the comfort of your own home, you should be able to keep your holiday season bah-humbug free.

The Naval Station galley and community served nearly 560 service members, civilians, retirees and their families a special Thanksgiving Dinner Nov. 25.
While the meal only lasted a few hours, the hard working Sailors and food service attendants at the galley spent many hours planning the traditional Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings.
“This was my first Thanksgiving here at Rota, and I didn’t know what to expect” said NAVSTA’s Chief Culinary Specialist (SW/AW) Manuel Gray. “It took a lot of preparation and teamwork.”
The event was truly a community effort. The Seabee culinary specialists from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion Seven assisted in the food preparation, and Morale, Welfare and Recreation provided the music and free meals to 35 single Sailors.
Officers, chiefs and their families also volunteered to help serve more than 400 lbs. of turkey and 220 lbs. of steamboat round of beef.
“Everyone worked very hard, starting as early as 4 a.m. to make this annual event truly successful,” said Marc Barcelon, NAVSTA’s Food Service Officer. “There is a lot of work behind the scenes people don’t generally see,

but we pulled it together nicely.” Lt. Greg Martin, NAVSTA’s ground
electronic maintenance officer, along with his family, served dinner with true southern hospitality.
"We wanted to serve the Thanksgiving meal, because we believe, even as a military family, we owe a little something back to our military,” said Martin. “I wanted to pass on that experience to my kids, because my wife and I believe it sets a good example of how giving yourself is more important than getting something.”
Martin also believed the dinner was extremely important in helping service members and their families minimize the feelings one gets from being away from family and friends during the Holiday season.
“The dinner and atmosphere feels a bit more like home and takes off the edge of missing family,” said Martin. “That turkey also helps in providing the best nap of the year!”
Capt. Bill Mosk, NAVSTA commanding officer, along with his wife Meryl Mosk, reminded young Sailors to call their parents during the holidays.
“Make sure you call your Mom,” said Meryl Mosk as she served the turkey and macaroni and cheese. “Tell her how much you love her, and how much you miss her.”

S h o p - a -P a l o o z aThe sales. The money. The madness. It’s all a part of a pre-Christmas season ritual known as Black Friday.
What is Black Friday? It is said to have been coined in the 1960‘s. If you know anything about accounting, it is around this time of year when stores and businesses started making a profit, going from in the red, meaning negative, to turning a profit, or “in the black.” Nowadays stores across the United States open very early, sometimes right after midnight or before sunrise to offer customers promotional sales to get them in the store.
Rota’s Navy Exchange made sure that serving overseas didn’t prevent service members from getting a jump on their Christmas shopping, while saving money.
“I didn’t have to spend all that much,” said Construction Electrician 3rd Class Dani Auld from Public Works. “I got to get a lot of stuff I wanted without feeling guilty about spending all of my money. I even have some money left over from the amount I set aside to spend.”
Getting the store ready for one of the biggest shopping day of the year kept NEX employees busy long before the doors opened.
“It’s been crazy around here,” said Marina Telford, an ID checker at the NEX. “Getting everything ready so

we don’t run out of stuff. We want to be prepared, but, if this is anything like Black Friday in the States, I think it’s still going to be madness, no matter how well we’re prepared for it.”
Luckily for Rota’s NEX, there was one more day than usual to make sure everything was ready for the big day.
“We’re lucky here in Spain that Thanksgiving isn’t a holiday,” said Kevin McAndrew, NEX store manager. “It gave us an extra day to prepare. We spent the day arranging all of the things were going to be on sale to, hopefully, make things run as smoothly as possible.”
Preparation seemed to pay off as crowds, who had been waiting outside in the cold, poured in to snatch up deals.
“This year was a big success,” said McAndrew. “We were given an expanded book of sale items so things that weren’t on sale last year, like linens, we were able to put on sale this year. We had ample quantities of all of the sale items, especially our biggest sellers in
electronics. TV’s and other electronics are usually the first items people grab.”
That’s not unusual since the most popular items that are usually snatched up during Black Friday are electronics and popular toys. For others, it was a time to get some much needed household.
“I just moved off base a few weeks ago,” said Auld. “I’ve never had my own place before, so there’s a lot of stuff I need. I’m really glad to get some of those things without emptying my checking account. It gives me a chance to make my new place really feel like home.

BURNT FOREST, Kenya -- Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 7, along with Combined Joint Task Force – Horn of Africa, held a school project completion ceremony in Burnt Forest, Kenya recently.
The completion of this project, in conjunction with help from the local Ministry of Education, enhanced the Burnt Forrest community’s trust and confidence in the Kenyan Government and its ability to provide essential services throughout the Great Rift Valley.
The detachment, led by Chief Steelworker Phillip Hayes, turned over a school office building, located in the Borror District of Kenya, after a 60-day construction renovation project was completed. The ceremony, while not large, was a clear indication of the overwhelming gratitude the school leadership had for the Seabee’s hard work and perseverance. U p o n t h e Seabees arrival, the project structure was nothing more than an un-utilized, unfinished building which lacked doors, windows, and other essential materials of comfort.
Once onsite, Hayes and his crew began their project with the placement of concrete for the front and rear porches, then moved to the placement of the

interior doorways and floors. “Being in a remote location like the
Borror District, mass production of concrete was a luxury we did not have,” said Hayes. “All of the concrete used was made and placed with nothing more than shovels and a wheelbarrow.”
While a portion of the crew mixed and placed concrete, local tradesmen joined in to lend a helping hand. The rest of the crew took on the task of applying and finishing stucco, to building exteriors, using local application methods.
“The cooperat ion between the Seabees and the local laborers was a big contributor to the success of the mission, as it not only improved the construction skills of our Seabees, but also helped to highlight the value placed in partnerships,” said Hayes.
During the completion ceremony, the Seabees celebrated with the beneficiaries of their dedicated work, the children of the Borror District. As the Seabees packed away their equipment the children sang songs of joy and thanked them for their work.
Hayes said, “their songs will serve as a reminder to the detachment that, at the end of the day, at the end of all their hard work, the enduring partnerships that they have made will last forever.”

Another Thanksgiving Day has come and gone, and it is time to start thinking about putting up the Christmas tree. Growing up, trimming the tree was very much a family event, from picking the best tree on the lot, to
bringing it home and carefully decorating it with bulbs, lights, streams of beads and even strings of popcorn.
There are many traditions families practice during this time of the year based on one's up-bringing, background or culture, but the one common denominator
between them all may be the decorating of a tree. What is interesting to know is how trees have played an impor-tant part in societies, particularly in religious ceremonies.
As history reminds us, Druid priests decorated oak trees during the winter solstice in honor of their gods. The Romans used berries to decorate fir trees, hung masks on tall pine trees to honor their god Bac-chus, and out of superstition, hung shiny balls on trees to symbolize the sun. The Babylonians used the evergreen tree to symbolize everlasting life, while the Egyptians and people of Arabia revered palm trees and hung specific items on them.
By the Middle Ages, liturgical cantatas sung in Latin began to be dramatized in churches and plays that com-municated biblical lessons were performed using simple props and scenery. One of the most popular plays, "The Paradise Play," about the Garden of Eden, was portrayed by a fir tree hung with apples that represented sin. As the popularity of these plays increased and became more elaborate, they were forced to move outdoors which caused them to loose much of their original purpose, and by the middle of the fifteenth century they were forbid-den. Still, the paradise tree survived and was moved into private homes to teach an important lesson to the children. Wafers of bread, symbolizing redemption, were hung on this tree which represented the Tree of Life.
Another custom was being practiced then, the Christ-mas light, which was a burning candle symbolizing Jesus as the light of the world. In Germany, this candle was

placed on a wooden stand made in the form of a pyramid and decorated with glass balls and glittering objects. By the sixteenth century, these two symbols began to be combined and the live Paradise tree, shaped like a pyra-mid was combined with candles and decorations. The tree no longer represented the tree of sin and cookies and sweets were added to the apples to represent the "sweet fruit of the Savior's redemption." The Christmas Crib, which had been traditionally placed beside the wooden pyramid stand, was now placed beneath the tree and the Star of Bethlehem was attached to the top of the stand and fastened at the top of the tree to shine down on the holy scene.
Over time, the remembrance of the original purpose of the Christmas tree has faded from memory.
A good question to ponder is "What does your tree mean to you?" Trees have been decorated for years to honor gods as well as to attempt to teach biblical truths. Your families traditions and customs will have a great impact on your tree trimming. Still, the question worth asking is, "Why do you decorate your tree for Christmas?"
Martha Zimmerman's book, "Celebrating the Christian Year" suggests your tree be a symbol of the Tree of Life
and a reminder that our Lord is the light of the world. If you have an evergreen tree, know it is an ancient sym-bol of eternity. Choose decorations that represent the goodness of God, letting the first ornament you put on your tree be an apple, reminding you of the need for Jesus to come. As you place your Christmas lights on your tree, talk about the light of Christ coming into a dark world. Purposefully select those symbols that tell the Christmas story and are reminders of Christ's life, such symbols as angels, bells, candy canes, lambs, hearts, doves and candles. And as a finishing touch, if you top your tree with a star, read Matthew 2:2, "Where is the baby born to be the king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east, and we have come to worship him" and Rev. 22:16, "I Jesus, have sent my angel to announce these things to you in the churches. I am descended from the family of David; I am the bright morning star."
Lastly, put something on your tree where you can see it so your eye will remind your heart that you do so to remind you and your family that, "Jesus is the reason for the season."

Londonon a Budget
How to visit London without breaking the bank.
12 December 2, 2010 C LVISTA
London is one of the most multicultural, vibrant cities in the world with a variety of sights, sounds and experi-ences just waiting to be explored. But it doesn’t have to cost you a fortune to partake in the wonders of this beau-tiful city. You just have to know where the bargains lie.Transportation
Getting to London has never been easier. Thanks to budget airlines, you can fly into Stansted, Luton or Gatwick for less than a tank of gas. Just this past week, our family of four flew round trip from Sevilla to Standsted for 120 euros. But book in advance, check for sales and remember- you get what you pay for. No frills here. Boarding may make you feel like you’re being herded as cattle and a meal can cost more than the airfare itself. Travel light and mail back any goodies you acquire. Subscribe to the various carriers, and they will inform you of specials.
Rent a car through the budget airline and save a few bucks, or take the bus or train once you arrive. There are information points at the airport that can assist you in find-ing transportation to fit your budget. Once in London, ride the tubes. Get a daily pass and rides are unlimited. Or go above ground and rent a bike. In an effort to ease the crowding on the trains, London has incorporated a cycling program where renting bikes has never been easier. Not only can you see things you would have missed under-ground, you will also get some exercise. Cycling maps can be found at any tourist information office.AccommodationsNo need to spend a fortune when staying in London. Try renting an apartment just on the end of Zone 6 of the tube. Rates will be lower, and you are just a tube ride from the
Exploring London on a Budgetcenter of the city. Or, for even more savings, stay at one of the military bases in the surrounding area. Temporary lodging can be found at Mildenhall and Lakenheath for under $50 a night and are located about an hour and a half out of London or an hour from a Zone 6 train stop that takes you right into the city. We stayed at Mildenhall and drove to Eppling to catch the central line into town.In the heart of the city are the Union Jack Club and the Victory Services Club which are British military lodging facilities that welcome American and other nations' military members as well. Prices are slightly higher and rooms are small, but the location can’t be beat.ActivitiesMake sure you pick up a the current edition of “Time Out.” This has every imaginable event happening at your fingertips.
If you only have one day in London and have never been before, I suggest the "hop-on, hop-off" bus tours. They are still the most bang for your buck if you want to see it all. Walking tours are also a great way to see the city and range from the historical and artsy, to the curious and spooky, such as the Jack the Ripper tour or ghostly haunts. Some are free while others have a small fee, and tour guides are often dressed in period garb and are as entertaining as the tour itself. Don’t forget to tip them though- best couple pounds you’ll ever spend.
One of the must sees is the changing of the guard outside Buckingham palace at 11 a.m. sharp. Check to see what day the ceremony is as they vary. The Tower of London also offers a ceremony that has taken place every evening called the Ceremony of the Keys. Although free,
you must write for tickets several months in advance. Most of London’s museums and art galleries are free,
some holding exquisite treasures spanning the globe. The British Museum, located in Bloomsbury Square, is one of my favorite museums to visit. This museum claims to have more Egyptian artifacts than some of the museums in Egypt and even holds the original Rosetta Stone. The London Museum, the Tate Museum and the National Portrait Museum are only a few of the free mu-seums. Also, don’t forget the Royal Air Force Museum, where more than 80 aircraft are on display, complete with uniforms, weapons, photographs and more. They even have a flight simulator to try your hand at.
It is the arts that draw me to London the most. Ok, so this is where I usually splurge to see a West End show, but there are ways to save here too. You can catch free music concerts at the National Theater almost daily and many churches will offer free concerts as well. Or just go to Covent Gardens and you will find an array of musicians from string quartets to folk singers. You may even catch a juggling act or magician as well.
And last, but not least, are the parks to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. From Regents Park to Green Park, the lush greenery and open spaces are a perfect place to picnic or go for a stroll. My favorite is Hyde Park with its small lake and Speakers Corner which makes for some interesting entertainment.
Don’t let a limited budget keep you from seeing one of the best cities in the world. Plan ahead, shop for bargains and above all, go and have fun.

It was during my last visit to El Torcal de Antaquera, when I really discovered the beauty of this natural park; especially its unique and peculiar limestone rock formations. In my opinion, it is amazing.
Located in the municipality of Antequera, in Malaga Province, El Torcal Nature Reserve was the first Andalusian Protected Natural Area in 1929 and was declared a Natural Park in 1978.
Botanical species abound here. At least 664 different plants species have been found in the Sierra. Here you will find trees typical of the mountains, including maple, willow and oaks. Wandering the woods you will find many animals from furry little rabbits to bobcats and foxes. Also here are reptiles like lizards and snakes as well as vultures and hawks, which is why the Sierra was declared a special area for birds protection.
Getting to the park is easy, with well marked roads, and exploring it is even simpler. The park has three trails for walkers that have been color coded for degree of difficulty from green being the easiest to yellow for medium and red, the longest and most difficult. However, don’t worry, all have excellent viewing points where you can see the whole park.
During your visit to El Torcal, you can enjoy Sierra Palade, Torcal Alto, Torcal Bajo, cliffs and slopes. The Natural Park has extensive parking, security and information points, visitor’s center and information panels. If you decide to visit the park, you will need good and comfortable walking shoes, appropriate clothing, for both winter and summer, and have some physical endurance.
El Torcal De Antequera/Nature Reserve
El Torcal Natural Park is entered from Antequera and Villanueva de la Concepcion which is about 6 kilometers to reach the total park.
El Torcal Natural Park is an extremely interesting place you should visit because of its beauty and
peculiar geological characteristics. After the visit, if you’re tired, you can rest and eat in the many bars and ventas near the park. So go out and enjoy an unforgettable excursion that is within your reach.

story By Jan haMMond, CoastLine

Kiam Marcelo Junio loves food; just ask him. He loves making it, he loves tasting it and above all, he loves sharing it.
“I love cooking for people,” said Junio, a Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class at U.S. Naval Hospital Rota, Spain. “I want to share that love with others and hopefully they can develop that love as well.”
His love, passion and zest for food is the inspiration behind the Coastline’s newest column, “The Love of Food”, where this talented chef who by day is a respiratory therapist at USNHRS, will share his delectable recipes, his sought after secrets and his wealth of knowledge of the culinary world.
From quinoa tabbouleh to tofu, Kiam has a diverse repertoire of culinary delights using the freshest of ingredients whi le focusing on a healthy and scrumptious menu.
“I feel like our current diet of processed foods and microwavable meals have strayed away from how we should be functioning as humans,” he said. “We are so use to convenience that we’ve forgotten how to do things for ourselves with something as simple and basic as cooking and eating.”
Kiam’s interest in food goes all the way back to a child in the Philippines; he grew up with food being the center of every social event. Just like anybody who is passionate about art, sports or religion, Kiam smiled while talking about Filipinos, and how they love to feed people. He would watch his aunt cook and liked to help with the meals, chopping up vegetables or cooking the rice. With his father in the U.S. Navy, he went on to live in Japan where he continued to be immersed in the food culture before finally moving to San Diego during his high school years.
When he joined the Navy, he decided to become a vegetarian, which kicked off a flurry of creativity utilizing food without meat. He tried new foods, re-creating something he ate at a restaurant in a vegetarian form. He’s not really a vegetarian these days, as he has incorporated seafood into his daily diet, mainly due to the amazing seafood found in this area.
Kiam is excited to start sharing the recipes he has acquired over the years and show the community how easy cooking can be.
“With these recipes I plan on having only ingredients you can find locally, if not in the commissary, at least out in town,” he said. “Hopefully people will read them
and be inspired to create something on their own.”
He also wants to highlight how instinctive food and cooking is. “I don’t like to follow recipes that much because I don’t do precise measurement with spices, like a quarter teaspoon of this or that.”
Kiam encourages people to hone in on their senses and experience food, not just eat it. “You want to taste it and smell it and know what’s good for you and what
is good for your guests.”It is his love of food that is the basis
of his column which he hopes to convey that anybody can develop a healthy relationship with food and not think of it as a chore.
“Food is a big part of our life and shouldn’t be this giant thing we have to conquer,” said Kiam. “Cooking is easy. It's enjoyable. When you take ingredients and create something you can share, to me is wonderful and absolutely amazing.”
Tabbouleh (Arabic, also tabouleh or tab(b)ouli) is a Levantine salad made of bulgur, finely chopped parsley and mint, tomato and spring onion, seasoned with lemon juice and olive oil.
Well, since we don’t carry bulgur around here, I use the next best thing: Quinoa. Quinoa has a similar texture, and, like beans and nuts, is a great source of complete proteins (one of the only grains that are so). Quinoa is very satisfying and tastes good hot or cold. I add it to salads all the time for extra density.
So, let’s get to the recipe, shall we?
Ingredients:-1 cup dry quinoa-1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in halves-1 cup black olives (I prefer pitted)-1 cup parsley-1/2 cup torn mint leaves-2 cloves garlic-1 medium red onion-1 cup chopped red bell pepper-1 cup chopped green pepper-1 tablespoon cumin-1 teaspoon crushed coriander (I prefer crushed to ground coriander)-2 tablespoons olive oil-1 tablespoon lemon juice -salt and pepper to taste
Only three steps:
1. Cook the quinoa according to directions on the pack. If you don’t have the directions, here’s what I normally do: 1 part quinoa to 2 parts water. The quinoa doubles in size when cooking, so pick your pan accordingly. Boil on high (with a splash of olive oil), simmer on medium-low until all the liquid is absorbed.
2. Mix the 1/2 of the spices (cumin and coriander) and 1/2 of the lemon juice into the quinoa. Refrigerate while you prepare the other ingredients. Quinoa tabbouleh tastes much better cold.
3. When ready, toss everything else together, and add any extra vegetables you’d like (like chickpeas!). Go crazy on the parsley, add more lemon juice if you’d like. I had a delicious tabbouleh at Dada Falafel in Berlin that was mostly parsley and lemon juice. Serve cool. Makes a great salad.
