**Short And Easy Vegetarian**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup quinoa
– 2 cups vegetable broth
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 small onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1 zucchini, diced
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/2 teaspoon cumin
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. **Cook the Quinoa:** Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and set aside.
2. **Sauté the Vegetables:** In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Add the red bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
3. **Season and Combine:** Sprinkle the cooked vegetables with dried oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well to evenly coat the vegetables with the seasonings.
4. **Combine with Quinoa:** Add the cooked quinoa to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Gently stir everything together, making sure the quinoa is well mixed with the vegetables and seasonings. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.
5. **Serve:** Once everything is heated through, remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the Short And Easy Vegetarian in bowls, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
