Ingredients
  

For the Quinoa Base
  • 1 cup quinoa rinsed
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for sautéing
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 medium bell pepper diced
  • 1 medium zucchini diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika
For Garnish
  • Fresh parsley

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • Large Skillet
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Colander

Method
 

  1. Step 1: First, rinse the quinoa under cold water and drain it. This helps remove any bitterness.
  2. Step 2: In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff it with a fork and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Add the bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet, cooking for about 5 minutes until they soften up a bit.
  5. Step 5: Now stir in the cherry tomatoes, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, letting those flavors meld together.
  6. Step 6: Finally, combine the cooked quinoa with the vegetable mixture, stirring until everything is well mixed.
  7. Step 7: Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Enjoy every bite!
