▶️ BEANS AND QUINOA RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (4 servings approx.)
1 Cup / 190g Quinoa (Thoroughly washed/soaked/strained)
2 Cups / 1 Can (398ml Can) Cooked Black Beans (drained/rinsed)
3 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 +1/2 Cup / 200g Onion - chopped
1+1/2 Cup / 200g Red Bell Pepper - chopped into small pieces
2 Tablespoon Garlic - finely chopped
1+1/2 Cup / 350ml Passata / Tomato Puree / Strained Tomatoes
1 Teaspoon Dry Oregano
1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
2 Teaspoon Paprika (NOT SMOKED)
1/2 Tsp Ground Black Pepper
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper or to taste (optional)
1+1/2 Cups / 210g Frozen Corn kernels (you can use fresh corn)
1+1/4 Cup / 300ml Vegetable Broth (Low Sodium)
Add Salt to Taste (I have added total 1+1/4 Tsp of Pink Himalayan Salt. Please note I have used low sodium broth and beans)
Garnish:
1 cup / 75g Green Onion - chopped
1/2 to 3/4 cup / 20 to 30g Cilantro (Coriander leaves) or to taste - chopped
Lime or Lemon juice to taste (1/2 to 3/4 Tablespoon - TASTE THE QUINOA FIRST BEFORE ADDING THE LIME JUICE AND ADD ACCORDINGLY OR ONLY IF NEEDED)
Drizzle of extra virgin Olive oil (I have added 1 tablespoon of organic cold pressed olive oil)
▶️ METHOD:
Thoroughly wash the quinoa - a few times until the water runs clear (this will get rid of any impurities/bitterness and will give quinoa a clean taste). Then soak for 30 minutes. 👉 AFTER 30 MINUTES DRAIN THE WATER FROM QUINOA AND LET IT SIT IN THE STRAINER TO GET RID OF ANY EXCESS WATER. Drain 2 cups or 1 can (398ml) of cooked black beans and allow it to sit in the strainer to drain any excess water.
USE A WIDER POT TO COOK THIS DISH, THE QUINOA WILL COOK MORE EVENLY WITHOUT GETTING MUSHY.
To a heated pot add olive oil, onion, red bell pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt and fry on medium to medium-high heat until the onions and peppers start to brown. ADDING SALT TO ONION/PEPPERS WILL RELEASE IT'S MOISTURE AND HELP IT COOK FASTER, SO DON’T SKIP THIS STEP. Once the onion and peppers start to brown, add chopped garlic. Fry for about 1 to 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add the spices - oregano, ground cumin, black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper and fry for 1 to 2 minutes on low to medium-low heat.
Add the passata/tomato puree and cook on medium heat to get rid of the excess moisture of the tomato pure and until the puree turns thick. It will take about 4 minutes or so. Add the soaked/strained quinoa, cooked black beans, frozen corn, salt, vegetable broth and mix well. Bring to a vigorous boil. Stir in between so that the quinoa does not stick to the bottom of the pan. Cover and cook on LOW heat for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked (but not mushy). Uncover and turn off the heat. Garnish with chopped green onion, cilantro, lime juice, drizzle of olive oil. Mix very gently because quinoa is very soft at this point and over mixing can cause the quinoa to get mushy.
✅ 👉 NOTE: TASTE THE QUINOA BEFORE ADDING LIME JUICE AND ADD ONLY IF NEEDED.
Serve hot. This recipe is perfect for meal planning and can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
👉 USE A WIDER POT TO COOK THIS DISH, THE QUINOA WILL COOK MORE EVENLY WITHOUT GETTING MUSHY
👉 Thoroughly wash the quinoa a few times until the water runs clear, this will get rid of any impurities/bitterness and will give quinoa a clean taste
👉 Adding salt to onion/peppers will release it's moisture and help it cook faster, so don’t skip this step

[@TheOriginalArchie]

I've made about a dozen recipes from this channel now, for my parents (that are vegetarian)...and I find it amazing how the drizzle of olive oil and squeeze of lemon at the end, bring the whole dish together. I've made the rice/lentils/zucchini/spinach dish a few times now, and the lemon/oil combo actually raises the flavor profile greatly.

[@FoodImpromptu]

Thanks! So glad to hear that 😊

Thank you! I'm happy to have found this channel and your recipes! I'm enjoying the fact that I'm not having to watch endless slicing and dicing scenes and instead, you've elegantly presented straightforward steps without overemphasizing the obvious (and tedious) which ends up making video watching much longer than necessary. I am drawn into your recipes because they are user friendly, and prep is pretty easy. Ingredients are accessible, economically friendly and healthy all of which I'm in need of. Also, the recipes can be tweaked for taste and preference as well. Now all I need is your serene and pretty kitchen and I'm good to go :) PS. Could you please list in your description the music you're using, it's so nice! :)

Concuerdo con muchos de los comentarios expresados. Lo único que le falta a su canal para ser perfecto, es tener traducción a varios idiomas, al menos los más universales, como lo es el español. KZbin es una aplicación que la ven millones de personas alrededor del mundo de muy variados idiomas, por eso, seria perfecto si todos por igual, pudiéramos entender claramente. Le aseguro que tendría muchos suscriptores más, porque su trabajo es espectacular.

[@catherine3358-g3p]

Thank you, this looks delicious! Can you substitute brown rice for the quinoa?

[@miseentrope]

brown rice takes longer than quinoa to cook and water proportions differ...that being said, if you're familiar with cooking brown rice, adjust as you would...if novice, cook the brown rice separately and follow the recipe (although you may cut back on the broth...unless you prefer a more soupy dish).

[@catherine3358-g3p]

@@miseentrope Great, thank you, I'll give it a try

[@namita9031]

Great recipes just a suggestion if u r into healthy eating use fresh in season ingredients avoid canned frozen due to preservatives ❤
