Ingredients
1/2 cup quinoa1 vegetable bouillon cube (if you prefer chicken or beef, go for it, but it will not be vegetarian)1 cup water2 tablespoons olive oil1/2 medium onion, finely chopped2 teaspoons minced garlicOne 15.5-oz can black beans (undrained)
In a saucepan, bring one cup of water and the bouillon cube to a boil. Add quinoa, stir, and reduce to a simmer. Cover and let cook until water is absorbed (approximately 20 minutes). Or, if you have a rice cooker, follow the cooker instructions.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, stirring to coat, then add garlic. Saute until translucent. Add beans and bring to a simmer, until heated thoroughly. At this point, you can mash some of the beans with a potato masher if desired.
Once quinoa is cooked, mix it into the beans. Flavor to taste/purpose.
Serving Size: Makes 6 1/2-cup servings
