Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse Quinoa

    Start by rinsing the quinoa under cold water for about 1 minute to remove any bitterness.

  2. 2

    Cook Quinoa

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

  2. 4

    Add Chickpeas and Spinach

    Stir in the chickpeas, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 3 minutes. Then add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

Combine and Serve

  1. 5

    Mix Ingredients

    Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the vegetable mixture. Drizzle with lemon juice and stir until well combined.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve warm, topped with crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley.
