Vegetable quinoa pilaf

Pilaf Armenian cuisine

In our apartment this dish is referred to as Dirt Candy Roti in reference to two different restaurants. I chose Dirt Candy for my birthday dinner this last year. It's a vegetarian restaurant that honors vegetables as nature's candy. The "roti" is in honor of the Kattu Roti from Lakruwana, a Sri Lankan restaurant in Staten Island. This was an impressive looking dish that came out molded like a pyramid. We served our Dirt Candy Roti with Moroccan Lamb Meatballs, but it would be great by itself or as side with any dish. We belong to a CSA, and this is a great way to help eat up farm share vegetables.
