Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Quinoa
Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and minced garlic, and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Stir in the diced bell pepper and zucchini, and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Combine Ingredients
Add the cooked chickpeas and fresh spinach to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir until the spinach wilts. Add the cooked quinoa to the skillet and mix well.
