???? Let me know in the comments if you enjoyed my vegan quinoa recipe.
▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (Servings 3 to 4 servings)
???? To Cook Quinoa:
1 Cup / 190g Toasted Quinoa (I have used tri-colour quinoa)
1+1/4 Cup / 300ml Water
???? Other Ingredients:
1 Cup / 125g Red Bell Pepper - thinly sliced
1 Cup / 100g Purple Cabbage - Shredded
1 Cup / 100g Carrot - Cut into julienne strips
1 Cup / 150g Cucumber - cut into small pieces
1/2 Cup / 65g Red Onion - chopped
1/2 Cup / 25g Green Onion - chopped
1/2 Cup / 15g Cilantro (Coriander leaves) - chopped
1/2 Cup / 65g Toasted Peanuts
???? SALAD DRESSING:
3 Tablespoon Lemon Juice OR TO TASTE
1 Teaspoon Ginger - Grated or minced
1/2 Teaspoon Garlic - Grated or minced
2 Tablespoon Soy Sauce or Tamari
2 Tablespoon Maple syrup
2 Tablespoon Toasted Sesame Oil or to taste
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
Salt to Taste (I have added 1/4 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt)
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
▶️ METHOD:
Start by chopping the vegetables and set it aside.
Toast the quinoa on medium to medium-heat (depending on the heat of your stove) for about 2 minutes or until the seeds starts to crackle and releases it's nutty aroma. By now your kitchen should be filled with this toasty nutty aroma :)
IMMEDIATELY transfer the toasted quinoa to a sieve - spread it out and allow it to cool down completely.
???? PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT LEAVE the toasted quinoa in the hot pan, otherwise it may end up burning
???? Toasting the quinoa adds a nutty flavour to this dish and also makes it easy to digest - it serves the same purpose as soaking
Once the quinoa has cooled down, wash it thoroughly, then tranfer it to a wide pan and add the water. Turn on the stove to medium-high heat and bring it to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low and cook for about 10 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked. DO NOT LET THE QUINOA GET MUSHY, that will ruin the dish. As soon as the quinoa is cooked, transfer it to a large mixing bowl and spread it our evenly and allow it to cool down completely.
To prepare the dressing add lemon juice, grated/minced ginger, garlic, soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, olive oil, salt and cayenne pepper to a small bowl. Mix thoroughly and set it aside.
By now the quinoa would have cooled down, if not, wait till it completely cools down. Add the bell pepper, purple cabbage, carrot, cucumber, red onion, green onion, cilantro and peanuts to the mixing bowl with quinoa. Stir the dressing again to make sure everything is well incorporated. Then add the dressing to the quinoa/veggies and mix well.
You can eat it right away, BUT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO CHILL THE SALAD IN THE REFRIDGERATOR FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE SERVING. This will allow the flavours to blend and it tastes so good cold
This recipes is perfect for meal prep / meal planning - it stores well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, if stored well in an airtight container.
▶️ IMPORTANT NOTES:
???? Toasting the quinoa adds a nutty flavour to this dish and also makes it easy to digest - it serves the same purpose as soaking
???? Every stove is different so regulate the heat as required. If at any point you notice the pan is getting over heated, reduce the heat
???? Once the quinoa is toasted, right away transfer it to a sieve or a plate for it to cool down. Please DO NOT LEAVE IT in the hot pan, otherwise it may end up burning
???? Wash the toasted quinoa, only when it has completely cooled down
???? Regarding cooking the quinoa, do not let the quinoa get mushy. Cook for 10 minutes or just until quinoa is cooked but still holds it's shape
???? After you mix the dressing with the quinoa and veggies, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO CHILL IT IN THE REFRIGERATOR FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE SERVING. This will allow the flavours to blend and tastes so good cold
???? This recipes is perfect for meal prep / meal planning, as it stores in the refrigerator for up to 4 days - if stored well in an airtight container

To a heated pan add the cooking oil, onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Adding salt to onion will release its moisture and help it cook faster so please don’t skip it. Fry the onion on medium to medium-high heat until it just starts to brown.

Cook on low heat for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked.
Once the quinoa is cooked, turn off the stove. RIGHT AWAY ADD THE SPINACH LEAVES WHILE THE QUINOA IS STILL STEAMING HOT, SO THAT THE SPINACH CAN WILT FROM THE HEAT. Along with lemon juice and ground black pepper and mix thoroughly BUT GENTLY. Top it with toasted cashews and chopped cilantro (coriander leaves). Serve hot.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
???? Thoroughly wash the quinoa, this will get rid of any impurities/gunk/bitterness and will give a cleaner taste to the quinoa
???? Every stove is different SO ADJUST THE HEAT AND COOKING TIME AS REQUIRED

Mexican Inspired Rice and Beans Recipe ???? Healthy One Pot Black Bean Vegan Food (Super Easy)
Let me show you a simple Mexican-inspired rice and beans recipe you and your friends can enjoy.
➡️ Black beans are a good source of fiber, proteins, and vitamins.
Coupling with the fragrant basmati rice, peppers, cilantro, and lemon juice only ensures this meal is both aromatic and healthy at the same time.
The addition of strained tomatoes, cumin, paprika, and cayenne spices gives this dish the flavor we look for in Mexican-inspired meals.
➡️ This dish is for sure one of the easiest, most aromatic, and flavorful meals you could quickly fire up from your kitchen.
You now have one recipe in your back pocket you could go to whenever you need a Mexican-inspired meal or just to have an excuse to open that can of black beans in the back of your pantry.
???? Is there another Mexican-inspired dish you'd like to see me prepare? Let me know in the comments below.
▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (4 servings approx.)
1 Cup / 200g White Basmati Rice (washed thoroughly with water)
2 Cups / 1 Can (540ml Can) Cooked Black Beans OR Pinto Beans (drained/rinsed)
3 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 +1/2 / 200g Cup Onion - Chopped
1 Cup / 150g Green Bell Pepper - Chopped
1 Cup / 150g Red Bell Pepper - Chopped
2 Tablespoon Garlic - finely chopped
3/4 Cup / 175ml Strained Tomatoes / Passata / Tomato Puree
1 Teaspoon Cumin
1 Teaspoon Paprika
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper or to taste
1 Cup / 125g Frozen Corn kernels (you can use fresh corn)
1 Cup / 240ml (low sodium) Vegetable Broth **OR AS REQUIRED
✅???? (**NOTE - Sometimes one batch of basmati rice is dried than the other so may require more liquid to cook. SO ADJUST ACCORDINGLY)
Salt to Taste (I have added total 1+3/4 Tsp of Pink Himalayan Salt)
Garnish:
1+1/2 cup / 100g Green Onion - chopped
1/2 to 3/4 cup / 20 to 30g Cilantro (Coriander leaves) or to taste - chopped
OPTIONAL - Lime or Lemon juice to taste (Taste the rice first and ADD ONLY IF IT’S NEEDED, I have added 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice as I like it a bit sour)
Black pepper to taste (I added 1/2 teaspoon)
Drizzle of extra virgin Olive oil (I have added 1 tablespoon of organic cold pressed olive oil)
▶️ METHOD:
Thoroughly wash the rice - a few times until the water runs clear. Drain 1 can of black beans. Set the rice and beans aside to drain any excess water.
(Use a Wider Pot to cook this dish, the rice will cook more evenly without getting mushy).
To a heated pot add olive oil, onion, red and green bell pepper, salt and fry on medium to medium high heat (depending on the heat of your stove) until the onions and pepper starts to brown. Adding salt to onion/peppers will release it's moisture and help it cook faster, so don’t skip it.
Once the onion starts to brown, add the garlic and fry for about 1 minute or until fragrant. Then add the strained tomatoes, ground cumin, paprika, cayenne and mix well. Add the washed rice, cooked black beans, corn kernels, salt, vegetable broth and mix well. Bring to a boil and then cover and cook on low heat for about 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked (but not mushy).
Uncover and turn off the heat. Add the chopped green onion, cilantro, lemon juice, black pepper, drizzle of olive oil and mix it very gently because rice is very soft at this point and over mixing can cause the rice grains to break.
(NOTE: taste the rice before adding lemon juice and add lemon juice ONLY IF NEEDED)
Cover and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This recipe is perfect for meal planning and can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
- Use a Wider Pot to cook this dish, so that the rice can cook more evenly without getting mushy
- Every stove is different so regulate the heat accordingly
- The Cooking time depends on several factors - the type of pot being used, heat of the stove, moisture content of the ingredients etc. so please use your judgement and adjust the cooking time accordingly
- Thoroughly wash the rice until the water runs clear to get rid of any impurities/gunk (it's an important step so please do not skip it)
- This recipe is for white basmati rice, if you are using a different kind of rice adjust the water accordingly

How To Cook Lentils
Lentils are Quick & Easy to Cook and Prepare
• Lentils to do not require soaking like other pulses.
• Rinse your lentils with fresh water before boiling to remove any dust or debris.
• Cook on a stovetop, using 3 cups of liquid (water, stock, etc) to 1 cup of dry lentils. Be sure to use a large enough saucepan as the lentils will double or triple in size.
• Bring to a boil, cover tightly, reduce heat and simmer until they are tender.
• For whole lentils, cook time is typically 15-20 minutes. For split red lentils, cook time is typically only about 5-7 minutes.
• Be sure to season with salt after cooking – if salt is added before, the lentils will become tough.
