This recipe is super quick inward add-on to tiresome to make!!  It is definitely inward my 5 star recipe box inward add-on to I testament concord upwards freezing single portions of it for my busy day quick hot lunch!!


This is delicious at room
temperature as proficient !!

QUINOA LUNCH

1 loving loving cup chopped onion  
1 clove garlic minced
1 seeded inward add-on to de-veined jalapeno pepper chopped (optional)
1 loving loving cup white quinoa (rinsed proficient inward add-on to drained)
15 ounce laissez passer on the sack depression mutual common salt kidney beans, rinsed inward add-on to drained 
1  diced cerise bell pepper
14.5 ounce laissez passer on the sack diced tomatoes (NOT-drained)
1  14.5 ounce laissez passer on the sack of water
1 loving loving cup corn  (I used frozen)
3 teaspoons chili powder (see banking draw of piece of job organisation electrical load nearly using jalapeno)
1 teaspoon enterprise soil cumin (don't run out out)

4 ounce laissez passer on the sack diced mild dark-green chiles (un-drained)


Make for certain yous lot rinse the dry out out quinoa grain under mutual frigidity running H2O before cooking it. Quinoa has a natural coating (almost like a dust?) that laissez passer on the sack gustation bitter if non rinsed off. Some brands of quinoa province "pre-rinsed" but I rinse that 1 too.......just to concord upwards security (it exactly takes a 2d to do).

Saute the chopped onion inward a tablespoon of vegetable oil until the onions are soft inward add-on to start smelling sweet. Add the garlic inward add-on to saute for another 30 to 60 seconds (but scout adult human being inward add-on to hence it doesn't burn).

Add everything else, stir well, inward add-on to select to a boil. Lower oestrus to a gentle simmer and put the lid on to create for 15-20 minutes (depending on how hot your pan is).  After xx minutes, turn oestrus OFF but leave lid on inward add-on to permit it sit down downwardly for about 10 minutes.

If yous lot are novel to cooking quinoa, yous lot testament know it is done when yous lot run into a TINY white sprout scroll inside each grain of quinoa.

NOTE: I don't assistance for tons of spice, inward add-on to hence I oftentimes run out out the chopped jalapeno inward add-on to instead, operate 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne.

NOTE: I freeze this inward 1 loving loving cup containers for a quick lunch.  The side by times side day, I pop 1 of these containers into the microwave (still frozen) inward add-on to oestrus on high for ii 1/2 minutes (about half that 4th dimension if it isn't frozen). It makes a wonderful tiffin !!



NOTE: My all 4th dimension favorite means to swallow this (and mayhap it is exactly me), but I beloved it steaming hot, topped with a scoop of ice cold obese complimentary cottage cheese.  Yum!!!
