Quinoa Risotto
Quinoa is the seed of a plant related to spinach. It's a super grain that makes a great risotto.
Serves: Serves: 4.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red pepper, very small dice (optional)
- 3 tablespoons chopped sweet basil
- 2 cups quinoa
- 3 1/4 cups Vegetable Stock
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan and add the onion and garlic. Cook a few minutes on medium heat, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the red pepper and chopped sweet basil and continue cooking for another minute.
- Rinse the quinoa before adding. Cook the quinoa for a few moments, then add the vegetable stock (water will do, although vegetable broth is so sweet and delicious).
- Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover for 15 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately. This recipe is also delicious cold the following day for lunch.
