Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse and Cook Quinoa

    In a fine mesh strainer, rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold running water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Simmer Quinoa

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until quinoa is fluffy and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

Cooking Vegetables

  1. 3

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 0.5 cups of diced red onion and 3 teaspoons of minced garlic, sautéing until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Other Vegetables

    Stir in 1 cup of diced red bell pepper, 1 cup of diced zucchini, and 2 cups of chopped spinach. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 5

    Season the Mixture

    Add 1 teaspoon of cumin, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well to combine.

Combine and Serve

  1. 6

    Combine Quinoa and Vegetables

    Fluff the quinoa with a fork and then add it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir until everything is well incorporated and heated through.

  2. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve the mixture hot, garnished with 0.25 cups of chopped fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
