    Spanish Style Quinoa

    Ingredients

    2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    1 cup uncooked quinoa
    1 medium onion, finely chopped
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    1 small green bell pepper, chopped
    1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
    2 1/2 cups water
    1 teaspoon chili powder
    1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

    Directions

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the quinoa, onion, garlic, and green pepper. Cook and stir 5 to 10 minutes until the onion is tender, and the quinoa has lightly toasted. Stir in the tomato sauce and water, then season with the chili powder, garlic powder, and cumin. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, and the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes. Stir the quinoa occasionally as it cooks.

    Made this last night, cut out the pepper and used only 2 c of water. Also added a can of rinsed and drained pink beans. Wow, it was so good and even my Hubby was raving about it and he's not a fan of quinoa OR cumin!! Thanks for sharing the recipe!


    No problem!!! I normally leave out the pepper too :-) Sometimes I don't add the tomato paste either! And I go a little more heavy on the cumin (love that spice!). Glad you liked it!!!

    Just bought my first box yesterday. BTW, Walmart wanted $10.48 so I passed it up. Couldn't bring myself to buy it. Yesterday I was at Trader Joes and I bought the box for less than four bucks.

    I like to use it instead of rice. I cook it in water and add some salsa, chili powder, and a tiny bit of peanut butter.
