Preparation

Preparation

1. Rinse Quinoa

Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water to remove its natural coating, saponin, which can make it taste bitter.

2. Chop Vegetables

Chop the bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.

Cooking

3. Cook Quinoa

In a medium pot, combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

4. Sauté Vegetables

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

5. Add Remaining Vegetables

Add the chopped bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle with cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

6. Combine Quinoa and Vegetables

Once the quinoa has rested, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

Serving

7. Garnish and Serve

Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the chopped fresh cilantro and serve warm with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
