Use fresh tarragon whenever possible, for the extraordinary improvement of taste that fresh herbs offer.
1. Dry roast pine nuts in a large pot on medium heat until browned. Be very careful as the nuts start to brown, as they will burn quickly. Meanwhile chop 3-4 sun dried tomatoes and 10 tarragon leaves.
2. Add quinoa to pot and continue roasting another 60 seconds.
3. Add olive oil, salt, sun dried tomato and 1c water. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and cover. Simmer for another 20 minutes or until quinoa softens.
4. Mix in fresh tarragon and parmesan cheese. Add salt to taste.

Each dosha reflects a distinct metabolic nature and describes strengths & weaknesses in bodily function, and how these affect energy levels, digestion, susceptibility to disease, and many other tendencies.
Your metabolic nature not only affects your physical characteristics, but also influences your mental thought patterns, confidence, and enthusiasm.
Ayurveda balances these metabolic strengths & weaknesses to support your body's vitality and prevent recurrent disease cycles. This support is a critical aid, especially in chronic or incurable disease conditions.
The 3 metabolic body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Through dosha, Ayurveda empowers people to identify metabolic imbalances early, break repetitive patterns of disease, and cultivate habits that support long-term vitality and well-being.
Ultimately, these metabolic patterns also provide a framework for understanding yourself, including body, mind, and spiritual tendencies.
