Base Ingredients

Vegetable Substitutes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook Quinoa

    Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water to remove bitterness. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the broth is absorbed.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced bell peppers and cook for about 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Then add the steamed broccoli and fresh spinach, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in your choice of protein (chickpeas, grilled chicken, or tofu) and mix well.

  2. 4

    Season the Mixture

    Add lemon juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to the quinoa and vegetable mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and heated through.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate and Serve

    Serve the quinoa mixture warm in bowls or plates. You can garnish with extra lemon juice or fresh herbs if desired.
