Quinoa recipes as main dish

[Anonymous]

We saute a bunch of veggies and chickpeas, then add the quinoa. Then add water (and/or broth or bouillon if you have it). Then add tomato paste. That’s all. It’s also good with cheese or a dollop of greek yogurt.

My 4 year old says she wants it in her lunch every day.
