Quinoa: Complete Recipe
This recipe is very simple, despite the high number of ingredients that it involves, and perfect for four people. It is very healthy and balanced (approximately a few 800 calories per dish) and complete, perfect as a main dish in a meal.
- To begin, we will first prepare the chicken and veal meat and the chosen vegetables with their corresponding stew, and then, finally, prepare the accompanying quinoa.
- We will use the same pot, a large one, for all the preparation of the recipe.
- We will put half a glass of olive oil in the pot and let it heat up, then we add the onion and garlic cloves and let it all cook together for a few minutes.
- When it has taken the texture we need, we scratch it the ripe tomato and let the water that it releases to be used up.
- Later, we add the chicken and veal meat, all together, and we seal it in the fire so that it remains half-cooked, although without finishing and releases the water that the meat contains inside.
- Next, we add the half liter of water, until approximately half of the pot.
- Once we add all the ingredients of the recipe, we can add more water if necessary. We bring it to a boil.
- Once the water is boiling, add the carrots, zucchini, and eggplant together with the salt, the ground black pepper, the tablespoon of ground cumin, the bay branches, and the cinnamon sticks. We stir it and let it boil all together for about 15 minutes or until the vegetables are soft (we can check it by pricking it with a fork). At this point we will assess whether or not we add more water to the pot, the ingredients must be covered with water, but without being too watery.
- Once the vegetables are soft, add the pumpkin. The reason that the pumpkin is the last ingredient to add to the pot is simple: it becomes soft very quickly and if we do it at the beginning of the process, along with the rest of the vegetables, it will overcook and go away. to undo.
- At this point, we scratch the ginger and taste the sauce to see if it needs us to add more salt or some spice, such as cumin, and put it to the point that we like.
- Next, and to finish, we add the tabasco, depending on the point of spiciness that we like and the prunes with the olives, we let it boil all together for about 10 minutes. We already have our sauce and meat with vegetables ready for this recipe with quinoa. Let rest.
