Base Ingredients

Optional Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop Vegetables

    Dice the red bell pepper and zucchini into small cubes. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Rinse Quinoa

    Place the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water for 1-2 minutes to remove bitterness.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

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

  2. 4

    Add Bell Pepper and Zucchini

    Stir in the diced red bell pepper and zucchini. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 5

    Add Quinoa and Broth

    Add the rinsed quinoa to the pot along with the vegetable broth. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir well.

  4. 6

    Bring to a Boil

    Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low.

  5. 7

    Simmer

    Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and has absorbed the broth.

  6. 8

    Add Tomatoes and Basil

    Once the quinoa is cooked, stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and fresh basil. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes are warmed through.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve

    Serve the Gulf Breeze dish warm, topped with optional feta cheese and sliced avocado if desired.
