Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse the Quinoa

    Place the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse it thoroughly under cold water to remove any bitterness.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside. Wash and chop the spinach.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Quinoa

    In a medium pot, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the broth is absorbed.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Add Vegetables

    Add the diced bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender.

  4. 6

    Incorporate Spinach and Seasoning

    Add the spinach, cherry tomatoes, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften, about 3-4 minutes.

Finishing Touches

  1. 7

    Combine and Garnish

    Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to combine, then remove from heat. Garnish with chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
