Introduction

Mostly vegetables but I still can't eat a full cup. My children and husband love this and always go back for seconds. Great with a salad of mixed greens.

Tips

For a first time cooker of quinoa, it is finished when it is completely tranparant. Any of the vegetables can be substituted for personal preferance but those that I have listed can also be found in any spanish section.


Directions

1. Prechop all the vegetables.
2. Put the olive oil in the cooking pot, add onion and garlic. Lightly fry until the onion is transullent. Do not let garlic burn. I chop the onion into big pieces but, as you like it.
3. Put the spinich and bok choy on the side and add all the other chopped vegetables. Lower the heat and let steam together for 5 minutes.
4. Add the quinoa and water to cover by about an inch.
5. Add the curry powder and salt.
6. When the quinoa is cooked, add the spinich and boy choy (stirring in) and let cook for another 2 minutes.
