Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spanish-Style Quinoa with Vegetables.
Step 1
Begin by warming vegetable oil in a spacious saucepan over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Introduce uncooked quinoa, diced onion, chopped green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the pan.
Step 3
Sauté the mixture, stirring often, until the onion softens and the quinoa takes on a light toast, which should take around 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 4
Next, pour in water and tomato sauce, then sprinkle in chili powder, garlic powder, and ground cumin for a burst of flavor.
Step 5
Bring this vibrant concoction to a rolling boil.
Step 6
Once it reaches a boil, lower the heat to medium-low, cover the saucepan, and allow it to simmer gently.
Step 7
In about 30 minutes, the quinoa will be tender and the liquid will have beautifully absorbed.
Step 8
Remember to stir occasionally to keep everything from sticking together.
Step 9
Enjoy the delightful aroma as your dish comes together, filling your kitchen with warmth and flavor.
