Base Ingredients

Method

Cooking the Quinoa

  1. 1

    Rinse the Quinoa

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Quinoa

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Sautéing the Vegetables

  1. 3

    Heat Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 4

    Sauté Garlic and Peppers

    Add minced garlic and diced green bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the peppers are soft.

  3. 5

    Add Greens

    Add the chopped kale and fresh spinach to the skillet. Cook until the greens are wilted, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 6

    Season the Mixture

    Stir in cumin, salt, and pepper, cooking for an additional minute to combine the flavors.

Combining and Serving

  1. 7

    Mix Quinoa and Vegetables

    Once the quinoa is ready, add it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine everything well.

  2. 8

    Add Black Olives

    Gently fold in the sliced black olives, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

  3. 9

    Plate and Garnish

    Serve the quinoa and vegetable mixture in bowls. Top each serving with crumbled feta cheese, sliced avocado, and a drizzle of lemon juice.
