As we all know, quinoa is considered to be a superfood. It is gluten-free, high in fiber and protein content, and has many health benefits. We should try to incorporate quinoa into our daily diet. It’s quick to cook and can be eaten in a variety of ways.
I made this quick quinoa meal with zucchini and red bell pepper. You can add any veggie and lean meat too if you like.
Ingredients:
1 cup of uncooked quinoa
2 zucchini cubed
1 red bell pepper cubed
1 onion finely chopped
2 tomatoes finely chopped
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
1 green chili chopped (optional)
1 tsp oregano
1 tbsp chili garlic sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper powder
1 tbsp sesame or olive oil
salt to taste
Method:
Wash quinoa well and rinse it. Add 2 cups of water and cook quinoa on high flame first until it comes to boil and then on medium to low flame until it’s fluffy. Should take around 15 minutes.
Heat oil in a pan. Fry onion till it gets a light brown color, then add ginger garlic paste. Stir for a while and add tomatoes. Add salt and let it cook for a minute. Add zucchini, cover the lid and cook for a couple of minutes. Add red bell peppers and the rest of the ingredients. Cook for less than a minute. Add cooked quinoa and stir everything well. Switch off the flame. Your quinoa meal is ready!
