A savory quinoa recipe that’s tasty yet simple with carrots, celery, onions, and quinoa. I always cut my veggies really small, more like mincing, because I don’t like chunky veggies. It is optional to cut this small. This would probably taste great with rice as well.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 1 small onion, minced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 cup vegetable stock
- ½ cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed
- ¼ teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- salt to taste
Directions
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in celery, carrots, onion, and garlic. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in vegetable stock, quinoa, basil, and turmeric. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until quinoa is tender and liquid is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in lime juice and season with salt.
