we sat down to lunchtime leftovers today and i noticed how the sun hit those little pearls of quinoa. i couldn't quite capture it for you, but suffice it to say...it added a little extra joy to this simple lunch. this was one of those throw-it-together meals that came out quite lovely. the night before, our dinner was topped with avocado, which was a yummy addition. i imagine i've posted virtually the same meal here before, but this is how we often eat. vary the vegetables, grain, protein, cheese (optional), and seasoning...and you've got endless variety.
today's zero-waste veggie quinoa
quinoa
broccoli
pepper
feta (bought from the salad bar in a container from home)
avocado (not steamed)
chili pepper, pepper flakes, salt
i like to put the quinoa on to cook...and then chop my vegetables. when i'm done chopping, i plop them on top of the cooking quinoa...and they just steam right there on top...leaving me with only one pot to clean.
i was able to purchase every item in bulk, although there were a couple vegetable stickers to discard. this was supposed to have chickpeas (which i just didn't have, though i thought i did). a squeeze of lemon would be nice, if one is hanging around...but not necessary.
love,
jane
