Method

Cooking Directions

Prepare Quinoa

Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Sauté Vegetables

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced red onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add chopped bell pepper and cook for another 5 minutes until softened.

Mix Chickpeas and Spinach

Add drained chickpeas and spinach to the skillet. Stir well, cooking until the spinach wilts down, about 2-3 minutes.

Season the Dish

Add cooked quinoa to the skillet along with cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

Serve

Remove from heat and serve warm. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
