Recipe: Veggie-Packed Quinoa
Combined with any veggie blend, quinoa transforms from a bland side dish to the sparkling main event. With this healthy blend of green veggies and protein-packed chick peas, this quinoa dish is a great healthy alternative to overly-starchy sides.
Photo by Danielle KaragannisServes 1 as a meal, 2 as a side
What You’ll Need:
1 cup of quinoa
1/2 a bag of fresh spinach leaves
1/2 onions
1 can of chickpeas
4 fresh mushrooms
Splash/dash of desired seasoning (we like a little Sriracha, curry powder, paprika, or oregano)
What To Do:
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of quinoa and 2 cups of water to a boil. Then turn to simmer and continue cooking, covered, until water is absorbed (about 10-15 minutes).
- While quinoa is cooking, sauté the spinach, onions, chickpeas, and mushrooms in a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil.
- As vegetables are sautéing, add seasoning of choice and mix well.
- When quinoa is cooked, add to the skillet with veggies and stir until well combined.

I look forward to trying this. I have everything but the quinoa. I heard it's very good for you, but never knew what to do with it. It sounds great in this context. I love all the other ingredients and if they make up the bulk of the taste as you say then this should be an amazing dish.

Merging banking, investment, and insurance functions allows traditional banks to respond to increasing consumer demands for "one-stop shopping" by enabling cross-selling of products (which, the banks hope, will also increase profitability).
