Equipment
- Large pot
- Sieve
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ white onion diced
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled, diced
- 2 carrots diced
- 1 zucchini diced
- 1 cup quinoa rinsed
- 1 can coconut milk
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar optional, or white distilled vinegar
- pinch salt add more to taste
- pinch black pepper optional
- small handful fresh parsley
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa in a sieve.
- Add the onion and garlic to a large oiled pot and sprinkle in the herbs. Lightly fry for 4-5 minutes until softened.
- Tip the sweet potato, zucchini and carrot into the pot. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes. The mixture may stick a little, so keep stirring if it does.
- Spoon in the rinsed quinoa and stir again. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes, then add the coconut milk and a little water if more liquid is required. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a very light simmer. Add the apple cider vinegar if using. Stir again and cook for approximately 15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender. Give it a stir now and again.
- Transfer to your serving bowls, season with salt and black pepper and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Ensure the quinoa has opened its 'tails', as this is a sign it is fully cooked through.
- Dice the vegetables into bite-size pieces.
- If the vegetables start to stick (before you have poured in the coconut milk) add a splash of water or vegetable stock.
- This is a great recipe for using the vegetables that are in your fridge. Change up the quantities to preference, or use other vegetables such as parsnip, bell peppers or cabbage.
