Bean and Quinoa Stir Fry Recipe
A very complete, light and healthy dish. In addition to being very nutritious thanks to the combination of beans and quinoa.
Ingredients
- 300 g Quinoa
- 400 g Baked beans
- 1 Zucchini
- 2 Peppers
- 1 Onion
- 2 Tomatoes
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Salt
Instructions
- We begin by washing the quinoa well under the tap. We will rinse it under cold running water for a few minutes. When it is clean, put it in a pot with water (twice as much water as quinoa) and bring to a boil. We cook for about 15 minutes, with the lid on, until we see that it is ready.
- After this time, strain the quinoa to remove the excess water and leave it for a couple of minutes again in the still hot pot. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, we chop the rest of the ingredients. Peel the zucchini and chop it into small cubes. Chop the onion finely. Wash the peppers, remove the seeds and chop them also into cubes. The tomatoes, wash them under the tap and chop them finely.
- In a frying pan, put a drizzle of oil. When it is hot, add the onion with a pinch of salt, cook until it starts to become transparent. Then add the zucchini, peppers and tomatoes, sauté over medium heat for about 5-10 minutes.
- When they are ready, add the beans, cook for a few more minutes, all together, mixing well. We also add the quinoa, cook again for a couple of minutes and serve.Now we have ready our delicious sautéed beans and quinoa.
Notes
NOTE: If you want to give more flavor to the quinoa, before cooking it, we can sauté it with a little oil in the same pot where, later, we will cook it. To do this, add a drizzle of oil and, when it is hot, add the quinoa. We give a couple of turns over medium heat (as we do with the rice) and then add the water and bring to a boil.
