Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse and Cook Quinoa
Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 diced red bell pepper, 1 diced zucchini, and 1 diced red onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
