Bring to a boil:
2 c chicken broth
1 c quinoa
Reduce to simmer and cover for 15 minutes
Saute:
1 T EV olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
2 colored (yellow & red go nice) bell peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
for about 2 minutes, then add:
5 cloves garlic (about 2 1/2 t minced)
Saute for about 1-2 minutes more
Season with
salt and pepper to taste
Remove from heat and add:
20 leaves fresh basil, julienned sliced
cooked quinoa (from above)
Toss to wilt basil then sprinkle on top:
handful Parmesan cheese, grated
Tastes really good next to fish or chicken
About four servings,
Make this a main dish by sauteing chicken breast strips in olive oil for 5 minutes,
then continue on with the recipe starting at the onion.
I also added in a mirepoix (since many have peppers anyway) and it was good with more veggies but add more garlic, herbs or eat with Yumm sauce since it gets a bit plain
