SPICY VEGGIE QUINOA RECIPE
Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 2

  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 2 large carrots, cut into wedges
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Cook quinoa in one and a half cups of water in a pot, bringing to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer 15-20 minutes or until most of the water is absorbed.

In skillet, sauté mushrooms and zucchini in olive oil until tender.

Add carrots, tomatoes, and red pepper continuing to cook for 2-3 minutes.

Sprinkle salt, cayenne and cumin, as well as a drizzle of agave over vegetables.

Stir cooked quinoa into the veggie mixture in skillet, then add cilantro.

Spoon into bowls & bon appetit!
