Total Time: 50 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

For the Base:

1 cup quinoa (or any grain of your choice)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup chopped bell peppers (any color)

1 cup chopped zucchini

1 cup diced tomatoes

1/2 cup spinach or kale, chopped

1/2 cup chickpeas (cooked or canned)

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup corn kernels (optional)

For the Spices:

1 teaspoon cumin powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

1/2 teaspoon coriander

Salt and pepper to taste

1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (optional)

For Protein (optional):

1/2 cup tofu (or tempeh, if preferred), cubed and sautéed

Toppings (optional):

Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

1/4 cup seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, or chia)

1 tablespoon tahini (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the Base:

Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, add quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cover. Cook for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed and quinoa is tender. Set aside.

Cook the Vegetables:

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the red onion, bell peppers, zucchini, and corn. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.

Add the chopped spinach/kale and diced tomatoes, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the greens have wilted.

Season the Dish:

Stir in the cumin, paprika, turmeric, and coriander. Add salt and pepper to taste. Let the spices cook with the vegetables for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Add Protein (Optional):

If using tofu or tempeh, heat a separate pan with a little oil and sauté until golden brown. Add to the skillet with the vegetables and mix well.

Assemble the Dish:

In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with the sautéed vegetable mixture. Add in the chickpeas and mix to combine. If desired, squeeze lemon juice over the dish for a fresh citrus flavor.

Serve:

Top with fresh cilantro, parsley, and seeds for added crunch and nutrition. Drizzle with tahini if you prefer a creamy finish.

Storage Instructions:

Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days.
