Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Quinoa

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a pot, combine the rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook Chickpeas

    In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic cloves. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chickpeas and cumin powder, and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped bell pepper and spinach, and sauté until the spinach wilts and the bell pepper is tender, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, sautéed vegetables, and chickpeas. Drizzle with lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature.
