Ingredients
- 2 cups of quinoa
- 4 cups of vegetable broth
- 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup of bell peppers, diced (any color)
- 1 cup of zucchini, diced
- 1/2 cup of red onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon of dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness, then drain well.
- In a large saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the broth is absorbed.
- While the quinoa is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the red onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.
- Add the bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the dried oregano, basil, red pepper flakes (if using), and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the quinoa is ready, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
- Serve the dish warm, garnished with fresh basil leaves for a touch of divine freshness.
