Quickie: Grain Salad

I call this a salad, but technically it's hot. I make it all the time, usually with quinoa. Sometimes bulgur or barley. Whatever I have at hand really.

While the grains cook (usually two parts water to one part grain) I fry up some mushrooms in a dry pan. When they are brown I season with salt and pepper and add whatever else I like in it.

Some kind of nut. Walnuts or pistachios. Cranberries are always nice. Whatever herb I have at hand (rocket salad is good too). Sugar snaps (if I havn't eaten them all before they hit the pan). Spring onions.

Then I add the freshly cooked grains, olive oil and lemon juice. Extra salt and pepper.

That's it. And it's totally yummy.
