Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Quinoa

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a pot, combine 1 cup of 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. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare Vegetables

    Dice the bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots into bite-sized pieces. Rinse the spinach thoroughly and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the diced bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender.

  2. 4

    Add Spinach and Seasoning

    Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the cooked chickpeas, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes to heat through.

  3. 5

    Combine with Quinoa

    Finally, stir in the cooked quinoa and soy sauce. Mix well and allow to cook for an additional 2 minutes to combine all flavors. Adjust seasoning if needed.
