Can't Eat A Thing

Quinoa at it’s finest…

In case you haven’t already caught on, I HEART QUINOA.  What’s not to heart?  It’s a super food, y’all.  It’s delicious and nutritious, and quinoa.  Quinoa should be the new word for awesome.

What’s in it?

1 cup quinoa

2 cups chicken broth - Or, 1c. chicken broth, 1 c. water  Progresso is GF and ICF.

1 shallot diced

1 red pepper

1 yellow pepper

2 cloves garlic

1 tbsp. olive oil 

salt and pepper

How to make it happen?

In a medium saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil.  Add rinsed quinoa to pan, cover and reduce heat to low.  Leave it alone, let it simmer until all the broth is gone.

Heat olive oil in a skillet on medium-high heat. 

Dice shallot, peppers. Add to skillet and saute.  When they’re almost cooked to desired done-ness, add garlic then salt and pepper to taste.  

Add cooked quinoa to skillet and mix well.  This is great as a side dish.  I usually eat it as a meal instead of a side though.

GF, IC Friendly
