Quinoa and Sautéed Veggies

Spray a large non-stick skillet with PAM.
Add about 1 tsp. olive oil.
Throw in thinly sliced pieces of red, yellow, and orange bell peppers.
Add a few pieces of garlic and several wedges of onion, both red and sweet white.

Sauté over fairly high heat until veggies are caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. I also added a little fresh thyme. At the last, splash in a small amount of Balsamic vinegar. (Just my personal preference….you may want to use cumin, chili powder, onion & garlic powders, etc. ) You non-vegans could also add pieces of cooked chicken, etc.)

This is really great served over Quinoa, rice or even pasta. Enjoy


How to Cook Quinoa

Some quinoa (keen-wah) requires that you wash it under cold water until the water runs clear. Not all quinoa requires this step. My box did not. If it does not say, then assume you must rinse the quinoa first.

On the stovetop, add 1 cup quinoa and 2 cups water to a saucepan. Bring it to a boil, and boil for 5 minutes. Place the lid on the pan with the burner turned off for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
