Preparation

1. Rinse Quinoa

Place the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water for about 2 minutes. This helps remove the bitter coating.

2. Chop Vegetables

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

Cooking

3. Cook Quinoa

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed.

4. Sauté Vegetables

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini, cooking for another 5 minutes until slightly softened.

5. Add Spinach and Chickpeas

Stir in the spinach and drained chickpeas into the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

Combining

6. Mix Ingredients

Add the cooked quinoa to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables and chickpeas. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

7. Season the Dish

Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.

8. Garnish

Chop fresh parsley and sprinkle over the dish before serving for added flavor and presentation.

Serving

9. Plate the Dish

Serve the quinoa and vegetable mixture warm in bowls or on plates. Enjoy your Fine Shine & Good Eats!
