Since I was gifted cilantro by the wonderful Annie, I decided to search for some recipes that included cilantro, and I wound up finding this.
This post inspired me: click.
This is my version:
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 tbs garlic
1 cup uncooked quinoa
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 can corn
1 can chopped tomatoes and chilies
1 (15 ounce) can black beans
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Cook quinoa.
- Sautee onion and pepper, add garlic.
- Stir in the quinoa, then pour in the chicken broth.
- Season with cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
- Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the black beans, corn and cilantro.
- Serve warm or cold.
