Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare 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 medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Cook Quinoa

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

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    While the quinoa is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add Veggies

    Add diced bell pepper, zucchini, and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  5. 5

    Combine

    Fluff the quinoa with a fork and add it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
