Ingredientes Usados

1 cup chopped spinach
1 cup quinoa
1 medium onion, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups vegetable broth
Salt and pepper to taste

Modo de Preparo

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Add the quinoa, vegetable broth, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

Once cooked, fluff the quinoa with a fork and stir in the red bell pepper, chopped spinach, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and serve warm.
