From The Fields (vegetarian) Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Cook the Quinoa

   Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Prepare the Vegetables

   While the quinoa is cooking, chop the bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside.

3. 3

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and sauté for about 2 minutes until it starts to soften. Add the bell pepper and zucchini, cooking for an additional 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cherry tomatoes, cooking until the spinach wilts.

4. 4

   Combine and Serve

   Once the quinoa has finished resting, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Toss everything together and serve warm.
