White Quinoa, Prewashed, 1 cup dry1 can chicken brothOlive Oil- 2TBS4 cloves garlic, minced1 medium onion, or 2/3 large onion, chopped fineCan of black beans, rinsedLarge can diced tomatoes, drained of excess liquid**Optional: I top this with some softly melted goat cheese. The perfect finish.
Mince garlic and chop onions finely. Sautee them in olive oil (this recipe is calculated using 2TBS) over medium heat stirring constantly, until they are golden, around 4 minutes.
Transfer to a sauce pan that has a lid. Measure out 1.75 cups of chicken broth, or add in enough water to your broth to yield 1.75 cups of liquid). Add to onions and garlic mixture. Bring to boil.
Once boiling, add quinoa, bring back to boil, then cover and simmer until all liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes, then fluff with fork.
Add in the rinsed beans, and the tomatoes. Cook on medium for a few minutes until well mixed and everything is warm.
Top with cheese of your choice, such as goat cheese, or feta.
