This recipe is super quick as well as slowly to make!! It is definitely inwards my 5 star recipe box as well as I volition survive freezing unmarried portions of it for my busy day quick hot lunch!!
This is delicious at room
temperature also !!
QUINOA LUNCH
1 loving cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic minced
1 seeded as well as de-veined jalapeno pepper chopped (optional)
1 loving cup white quinoa (rinsed good as well as drained)
15 ounce tin plow over notice depression tabular array salt kidney beans, rinsed as well as drained
1 diced cerise bell pepper
14.5 ounce tin plow over notice diced tomatoes (NOT-drained)
1 14.5 ounce tin plow over notice of water
1 loving cup corn (I used frozen)
3 teaspoons chili pulverization (see banking concern annotation close using jalapeno)
1 teaspoon terra firma cumin (don't larn out out)
1 teaspoon tabular array salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon dark pepper
4 ounce tin plow over notice diced mild dark-green chiles (un-drained)
Make certain y'all rinse the dry out quinoa grain nether mutual depression temperature running H2O earlier cooking it. Quinoa has a natural coating (almost similar a dust?) that tin plow over notice gustatory modality bitter if non rinsed off. Some brands of quinoa tell "pre-rinsed" but I rinse that ane too.......just to survive security (it simply takes a 2nd to do).
Saute the chopped onion inwards a tablespoon of vegetable petroleum until the onions are soft as well as outset smelling sweet. Add the garlic as well as saute for some other thirty to lx seconds (but scout as well as hence it doesn't burn).
Add everything else, stir well, as well as convey to a boil. Lower rut to a gentle simmer and put the lid on to gear upward for 15-20 minutes (depending on how hot your pan is). After twenty minutes, plow rut OFF but leave lid on as well as permit it sit down for about 10 minutes.
If y'all are novel to cooking quinoa, y'all volition know it is done when y'all encounter a TINY white sprout ringlet within each grain of quinoa.
NOTE: I don't assist for tons of spice, as well as hence I oftentimes larn out out the chopped jalapeno as well as instead, role 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne.
NOTE: I freeze this inwards ane loving cup containers for a quick lunch. The adjacent day, I popular ane of these containers into the microwave (still frozen) as well as rut on high for two 1/2 minutes (about one-half that fourth dimension if it isn't frozen). It makes a wonderful luncheon !!
NOTE: My all fourth dimension favorite means to swallow this (and peradventure it is simply me), but I honey it steaming hot, topped amongst a scoop of ice cold fatty gratis cottage cheese. Yum!!!
ENJOY !!!
