Quinoa with vegetables

Quinoa contains a lot of protein and can replace meat in terms of amino acid composition. When cooked, quinoa seeds have a delicate nutty flavor and a pleasant grainy structure, and the combination with vegetables makes them more delicious and healthy. Quinoa can be white, black or red. If you need to get a crumbly mass for quinoa with vegetables, choose red or black quinoa - these varieties hold their shape perfectly. This recipe suggests choosing from these options.

How to cook Quinoa with vegetables

Step 1

Quinoa with vegetables

Start frying the vegetables. Place the mushrooms, broccoli and carrots in a heated frying pan and fry for 7-10 minutes. Add a little water, salt and simmer under the lid until done for about 10 more minutes. When the vegetables are done, add the spinach and stir for 1-2 minutes. Then remove from heat.

Step 2
