Tips

This recipe is easy to experiment with since Quinoa has no taste of its own.

I generally use whatever vegetables I have on hand.


Directions

Soak Quinoa in boiling hot water, cover for about 10 min. Quinoa is cooked if you see sprouts.

While the Quinoa is soaking, in a skillet, add olive oil, onion, cabbage, mushrooms, carrots, beans and hot chili pepper and cook until the cabbage does not have the raw look.

Check Quinoa to see if it is cooked. Drain and add to the mixture, cook for another 5 min. to blend in the flavors.
