i'm slowly starting to enjoy eating more foods raw and not only is it healthier but saves time too : P
here is a simple meal I enjoy especially when pinched on time. great if you have left over quinoa or any other grain!
ingredients:
- quinoa precooked
- spices- red pepper flakes, black pepper
- small onion
- olive oil
- veggies you have/like- carrots, broccoli, bell peppers
- spinach or kale
- tofu - cut into squares
how to:
- cook your grain, add salt to the water for more flavor
- in a skillet heat olive oil & cook onions until translucent
- add your veggies- carrots, broccoli, bell pepper etc cook until soft
- add spices you like to your taste
- optional to cook your tofu in separate pan with olive oil (i'm now used to just adding it in raw to my bowl at the end)
- once your veggies are soft add your spinach to the skillet for few minutes until it wilts OR again optional to just put it it in raw as i have.
- in a bowl add your desired amount of quinoa, add your veggies, add your tofu and check spice/taste level to your liking!
