Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups of quinoa, rinsed
  • 4 cups of vegetable broth
  • 1 cup of bell peppers, diced (mix of colors)
  • 1 cup of zucchini, chopped
  • 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes, until fluffy.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant, around 5 minutes.
  3. Add zucchini and bell peppers. Sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  4. Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and add it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables.
  5. Season with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat evenly.
  6. Spoon the mixture onto a serving platter or bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Rinse quinoa well to remove its bitter coating. Experiment with other vegetables based on availability. Adjust spices to preference.
