Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quinoa and Bell Pepper Pilaf.
Step 1
In a 2-quart saucepan, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Step 2
Add the minced shallot and garlic, sautéing for about 2 minutes until they release their delightful aroma, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Next, introduce the vibrant diced red and yellow bell peppers along with the rinsed quinoa, allowing them to mingle for an additional 2 minutes while stirring.
Step 4
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a lively boil.
Step 5
Once it reaches a rolling boil, lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the saucepan, and let it cook for approximately 20 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid has been absorbed.
Step 6
After removing it from the heat, fold in the freshly chopped parsley and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
Step 7
Enjoy this colorful, nutritious dish that brings a burst of flavor to your table!.
