Salsa Verde Quinoa + 5 - Ingredient Vegan Cookbook Review
5 ingredients means this quinoa dish comes together quickly! Mild spices with a cheesy taste make this a winner for the whole family.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups quinoa (any color), rinsed in a fine sieve
- 1 cup salsa verde (tomatillo salsa), or more, to taste
- 3 to 4 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded vegan cheddar (pre-shredded, or grated from a block)
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine the quinoa with 3 cups water in a stir-fry pan or deep skillet. Bring to a slow boil, then turn down the heat, cover, and simmer until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. If the quinoa isn’t done to your liking, add another 1/2 cup water and cook until absorbed.
- Stir in the salsa, scallions, and cheddar. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture gets nice and toasty.
- Stir in the cilantro (or parsley), season with salt and pepper, and serve.
