Ingredients:
– 1 cup quinoa
– 2 cups vegetable broth
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
– 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked through and fluffy. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Add the diced red and yellow bell peppers to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened.
4. Stir in the drained and rinsed chickpeas, paprika, cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine all flavors.
5. Once the quinoa is cooked, transfer it to the skillet with the vegetables and chickpeas. Mix everything well and let it cook together for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the Thank You dish hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
