Wild about Quinoa

This spicy Quinoa recipe is a fusion dish. Quinoa is originally a South American grain that is round in shape and looks and tastes very exotic. This is a spicy, fragrant and healthy version of Quinoa. Loaded with summer vegetables, spices and protein, this is the ultimate dish for the "healthy" eaters.

Ingredients

3 Cups Quinoa
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoon of chopped Coriander
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 teaspoon grated garlic
1/2 lime
1 teaspoon grated jalopeno pepper
2-4 mid sized tomatos (use as many as desired, I used 4 tomatos.)
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 red onion chopped
4 cups of these veggies: Pea pods, green pepper, yellow pepper, red pepper, cauliflower, zuchhini and purple cabbage.

Directions

1. Cook the Quinoa in a pressure cooker. If you don't have a cooker you may boil it in water until it is cooked.
2. Place 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil in a heated pan and add cumin. Allow Cumin to crackle and add the red onion, ginger, cumin power, garlic and Jalopeno. After 4 minutes, add the diced tomatos and make a nice thick gravy by letting the tomatos cook for 5 minutes.
3. Add the 4 cups of veggies to the pan and mix well.
4. After 2 minutes, add Quinoa, salt and lime juice. Mix well.
5. Garnish with Coriander.
