Quinoa with vegetables
On occasion of a food blog event in Spanish (Hecho en mi Cocina), which focuses this month on quinoa, I've prepared a simple and healthy recipe: Quinoa with vegetables.
The quinoa is a pseudocereal which is grown mainly in South America but also in the United States. The largest producer, though is Bolivia. Here you can find more information: Quinoa
For two people we need:
- 2 coffee cups quinoa
- Water
- Salt
- Oil
- Your favourite vegetables (mine: broccoli, carrot, leek, onion, turnip, and green beans) steamed
How we prepare:
In a pot put the quinoa and twice its volume of water to boil. Put a little salt in the water.
While in another pot, put the vegetables to steam. When cooked (preferably al dente) put them in a pan with some oil and fry lightly.
In a dish, serve the quinoa and place the vegetables on top. We can accompany with a little soy sauce.

Have tried quinoa although I must say was not exactly thrilled but it is very healthy.
Hi Ivy,
I agree with you. First time I tried quinoa I felt the same, but it's very easy to cook, so it's a great help for quick meals.
I've never had quinoa... but it's like in fashion now... so healthful!
