QUINOA MEDLEY, my daughter's finding.
My daughter cooked this recipe and she, and her family, was so exited, she wanted me to put it on my blog, pictures and all:
You can use this dish as a salad topping, stuffing for tomatoes/green peppers or serve it as a side dish.
Ingredients:
1 cup Quinoa
1 cup Black beans
1 cup Pinto beans
Sliced thin squash (1 medium)
Half onion, chopped
Garlic
1 to 2 Red peppers, chopped
Baby spinach and/or spring green mixed
Parmesan cheese.
Directions:
Bring 2 cups water to a boil in
saucepan. Stir in quinoa, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Simmer 10 minutes.
Add beans, squash, onion, garlic; season with
salt and pepper.
Cover, and cook 2 to 5 minutes
more, or until quinoa is tender.
Stir
in parsley, parmesan cheese, oil and balsamic vinegar; if you prefer add any dressing I love: Annie's
natural goddess dressing” serve it as a side dish.
My son, Landen, said this was the best dinner ever. And we were
very happy: we all ate a whole foods meal full of vitamins and healthy
nutrients.
've made this and its delish!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Did you actually make it or did you find a random picture that looks like Quinoa? Cool about the message. Since the USDA food pyramid changed, I think you will find vegetarian dishes are on the rise.
