easy peasy quinoa and beans bowl

burn out beans 'n quinoa vegan recipes
vegan recipes: here's what i've got going on - easy peasy quinoa and beans bowl. i'll have something more exciting looking tomorrow.

here's how the quinoa bean bowls go (don't let the simplicity of this dish fool ya, it's crazy tasty just like it is - although i will admit if you drizzle on a little lemony-tahini sauce it'll take you places you've never been to before. fo 'sho.):

 

- bring 1 cup of water + 1 cup of well-rinsed quinoa to a boil in a small pot. once boiling - cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low & cook for 20 minutes.

- saute 1/2 a minced, yellow onion on medium heat.

- add in 2 cups of beans (user's choice - i chose black & white beans this go around) once the onion has softened.

- while your beans are cooking mince 2 big fat cloves of garlic.

- make a well in the middle of the beans 'n onions - add minced garlic and a glub of olive oil.

- stir it all up once garlic is fragrant.

- season bean mix with sea salt & black pepper. turn off the heat and let the beans, onions and garlic hang out for a bit.

- chop kale & massage with olive oil & a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

- at this point your quinoa should be ready to go - remove from heat when finished, flush with fork and add everything together (raw, massaged kale + beans & onions + quinoa) in a large bowl.

- another glub of olive oil, another shake of sea salt 'n pepper.
