Quinoa with vegetables

Hi!

I love quinoa with vegetables. It's easy and tasty.

I start by cooking the quinoa with the Oatmeal kit (Lékué) and after that I can use the quinoa in salads or hot recipes.

Today I cooked with vegetables. Simply delicious! Healthy, easy and full of color!

Ingredients:

• olive oil
• 120 g already cooked quinoa (see here how I cook it)
• 1 little chopped onion
• 1 chopped carrot
• 1 handful peas
• 1 handful sweet corn
• salt

In a pan, heat a little olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and let it caramelise.
Then, add the chopped carrot and stir.
Add the peas, stir, add the corn, season with salt and stir again. Let it cook for 2 minutes.
Add the quinoa, stir and cook for 5 minutes at low heat (or until the quinoa is warm, if you took it from the refrigerator).

Serve and enjoy!

What do you think? How do you cook your quinoa?

Until next time!

How I cook quinoa

Hi!

Here is my way to cook quinoa. I use the Oatmeal Kit (Lékué) and the microwave and it works!

I follow the instructions that Lékué send with the kit to measure the quantities:

• 120 g quinoa
• 300 ml water
• a pinch of salt

and then I cook it for 15 minutes in the microwave at 900 W.

Important: rinse the quinoa very well before you cook it. Otherwise it has a bitter taste...

After the 15 minutes, let it rest for 3 minutes.

Then you just need to loose the grains with a fork and you're done!

You can keep the quinoa in the fridge and use it in salads or add it to cooked vegetables.

Enjoy!
