Recipe Introduction


Prep time: 15 minutes, Cook time: 30 minutes, Serves 8
3.5 pts per serving or CORE


List of Ingredients




2 large onions, chopped
6 minced garlic cloves or 3 tsp. minced garlic
1 Tbsp. Oil
1 red or green bell pepper
4 tsp. ground cumin
4 tsp. ground coriander
2 cups Quinoa
4 cups water
1 cup fresh basil, chopped
3 cups Frozen Corn
Salt and pepper, to taste

Recipe



In a large saucepan, heat onions and garlic in oil until tender. Add bell pepper, cumin and coriander. Continue to saute for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Rinse quinoa in a fine sieve under cold running water for 1-2 minutes. Add rinsed quinoa and water to saucepan, cover tightly and simmer for about 15 minutes. Stir in basil and corn, and cook 5-10 more minutes, or until quinoa is tender.

I toasted the rinsed quinoa in the pan before adding water. Also, I used stringbeans from the garden instead of bell pepper and it was amazing.
