Decided to try some new Quinoa recipes. This is the best one I’ve found so far!
1 cup quinoa
2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
2 tsp olive oil
2 cloves minced garlic
2/3 cup sundried tomatoes packed in olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 14 ounce can artichoke hearts (quartered)
Pinch of salt (to taste)
In a large saucepan mix quinoa into vegetable broth and brig to a boil. Once it boils, cover it then lower heat to a simmer. Cool 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed.
Next sauté the olive oil, garlic, and sundried tomatoes in a medium saucepan for one minute. (At this point I drained the excess oil from the pan). Then add in the artichoke heart, oregano, black pepper, and red pepper and sauté for one additional minute.
Add the artichoke & tomato mixture to the quinoa and toss to combine. Now, we chose to add some grilled chicken into the mix.
And it turned out phenomenal.
Without the grilled chicken it is 110 calories per serving.
With the chicken it’s approximately 250-300 calories (depending how much chicken you put in).
Definitely worth trying!!
