Warm Tomato Pepper Quinoa. This isn't your average boring quinoa salad! It's packed with tomatoes, bell peppers, onions and spices. This will make you want to eat more quinoa as it's delicious and easy to make! This recipe is vegan.
In a large pan, add quinoa and cold water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook covered until desired texture, about 12-14 minutes. Remove cooked quinoa from pan and set aside.
On medium high heat, add vegetable oil into the pan. Fry onions for 2 minutes until fragrant and translucent. Then add the diced bell peppers and fry for another 2 minutes until soft. Next cook cherry tomatoes, peas and carrots for 2-3 minutes.
Add paprika power, garlic powder and onion powder and mix until vegetables are evenly coated.
Pour in vegetable or mushroom broth and tomato paste. Mix everything together until combined. Cook until half of the broth has evaporated, about 1-2 minutes.
Add in cooked quinoa and mix altogether. Season with salt to taste. Enjoy hot!
