Being a member of Scribe Winery has been the gift that keeps giving. This weekend I took my friend Leslie, who was visiting from Charlotte, to pick up my third quarter shipment. Not only did she get to see the beauty that is Scribe with a complimentary glass of wine in hand, but we got to take home heirloom tomatoes from their garden.
Alanna and I strategically have wine club memberships near each other, so we made the rounds…
There is really only one way to eat homegrown, ripe heirloom tomatoes: raw. Maybe paired with cheese. Dinner was obvious.
Heirloom & Feta Quinoa Tabouli
1 cup quinoa
1 tablespoon + 2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves + 1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 red onion, chopped
1/2 bunch kale, chopped
1 can garbanzo beans, rinsed
1 heirloom tomato, diced
2 ounces feta, cubed
1/4 cub fresh mint, chopped
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
red pepper flakes
salt and pepper
Add quinoa and 2 cups water to a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce and cover for 12-15 minutes, until fluffy. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and add 2 cloves garlic and onion. Once onion start to soften, add in kale and stir. Sprinkle a tablespoon or two of water and cover to let steam for 3-5 minutes.
Dump cooked quinoa to a large bowl.Top with kale mixture, garbanzo beans, tomato, feta and mint. In a cup, whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 clove minced garlic, red wine vinegar, and lemon together. Pour over tabouli and toss. Season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Serve or chill until ready to serve.
