I just cook quinoa in my rice cooker, using the prescribed liquid ration of 1:2. (That's quinoa to water) I like it best when I use chicken broth for cooking the quinoa, but water is also fine.
Then in my dutch oven on the stovetop, I saute 1-2 onions (depending upon how big they are) in oil, and then add thickly sliced & quartered zucchini and yellow squash and fresh green beans. I've sometimes added cauliflower too. Pour in a little chicken broth and let the veggies cook until just done. Turn off the heat and add lots of fresh chopped tomato, LOTS of fresh torn basil, and at least 2-3 big cloves of garlic, pressed right into the pot. Yes, that much raw garlic. Trust me. Stir it all up. Add pepper and sea salt and serve over the quinoa!
Again, it is really easy and it is SO good. Mmmmmm. I could eat it all day. Wait--sometimes I do. ; )
And it's SUPER healthy for you!
(You can also top it with feta or fresh shredded parmesan. Mmmmm. But the original recipe is vegetarian (easily vegan if use veggie broth), grain and gluten free, and full of anti-oxidants! And did I mention filling and comforting?)
