Veggie Quinoa

So I know this is supposed to be a recipe revamp blog, but I want to share this recipe that isn't adapted by a specific recipe. I've been looking at a lot of recipes for quinoa and I wanted more veggies and I also had a lot of veggies bought so I want to utilize the veggie I bought before they go bad.

 This recipe can be made for 4 people's side dishes or 2 individual meals. When I finished making things, I realized I made too much for myself to eat!!

The tomatoes had that tomato bite. I think if you don't like that sour tomato flavor, you could probably add some sugar while you're cooking them.

Here's what I put in it...

Ingredients:

1 cup water

½ cup rinsed Quinoa

1 ½ handfuls of leafy greens (I used a box that had a mix of baby spinach, red and green chard and, baby kale)

1 cup sweet grape tomatoes, halved

1 cup corn

1 ½ cup onion, chopped

1 Tbs olive oil

1 tsp salt

2 cloves garlic, minced

Directions:

Boil the water in a pot. When it comes to a boil, add the rinsed quinoa and when it bubbles, bring it to a simmer for 15 mins or until quinoa is soft. 

In another pot (I used a bigger pot due to the amount of veggies I used), heat some olive oil (I used medium to high heat) and when the oil is ready, add the garlic for 1-2 mins. Then add the onions in and the salt (cooks the onion better). After mixing a bit, add the corn in the pot. 

After 5 mins, add the grape tomatoes into the pot. Let that cook for about 3 minutes and add the mixed leafy greens. Remove from heat.

Combine the cooked quinoa into the cooked veggies. Mix well and serve.

Enjoy!!
