Quinoa and black beans

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

This recipe is a staple at my house. I often double this recipe because it

goes so quickly. Even my picky carnivorous younger son likes this a lot.

This is adapted from a recipe on allrecipes.com.

Ingredients

 

- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

- 1 onion, chopped

- 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped

- 3/4 cup uncooked quinoa

- 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth

- 1 teaspoon ground cumin

- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

- freshly ground pepper to taste

- 1 cup frozen corn kernels

- 1 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained

 

Directions

 

1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion

and red bell pepper and saute until lightly browned.

2. Mix quinoa into the saucepan and cover with vegetable broth. Season

with cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes,

3. Stir frozen corn into the saucepan, and continue to simmer about 5

minutes until heated through. Mix in the black beans and heat just another

minute or two.
