Simple Savory Quinoa image

A savory side dish, 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 always optional to cut this small. This would probably taste great with rice as well.

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 11

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

Steps:

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the colorful quinoa and the crunchy vegetables. I usually serve it with a dollop of Greek yogurt or hummus.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I used half the amount of chili powder that the recipe called for, and it was still too spicy. Next time, I'll use even less chili powder.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my quinoa turned out mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong. Maybe I used too much water? I'll try it again with less water and see if that makes a difference.
