Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients. Rinse the quinoa under cold water and set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Dice the carrots, celery, and shallots, and mince the garlic.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced shallots. Sauté until the shallots are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Vegetables

    Add the diced carrots and celery to the pot. Stir and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

  3. 5

    Add Broth and Quinoa

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add the rinsed quinoa. Stir to combine, then add the fresh bay leaves, salt, and black pepper.

  4. 6

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is fully cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

  5. 7

    Finish with Lemon

    Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Discard the bay leaves.

Serving

  1. 8
