INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Heat quinoa, 1¼ cups water, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until spirals burst and water is absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes.
Add carrot, 2 tsp olive oil, sumac, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a baking sheet and toss. Roast until tender and slightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
Add beans, dill, scallion, just half the lemon juice, and 1 tbsp olive oil to a medium bowl and stir. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. TIP: The dill fronds are the wispy leaves on the thick stem.
Add the grape leaves to the cooked quinoa. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. TIP: Be careful chopping the grape leaves, as they can be slippery.
Divide the grape leaf pilaf between bowls and add dilly beans and sumac roasted carrots. Top with dried cherries and drizzle with tzatziki. Dig in!
