I’ve been trying to introduce more whole grains into our diet and quinoa is one of the ones I have had the hardest time working into the menu. I haven’t been a huge fan of quinoa in the past because I simply didn’t like the texture of it. This evening though, I managed to create a dish that was delicious and incorporated some good grains. I found bulgar and red quinoa at Central Market here in Houston. It is the quick-cooking type of bulgar and of course, quinoa cooks fairly fast on its own.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Bulgar & Red Quinoa
1 cup water
15 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes in juice
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 dashes of garlic powder
ground pepper to taste
In a small saucepan combine bulgar and red quinoa with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes.
While the bulgar and quinoa is cooking, combine all of the other ingredients in a skillet over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the liquid runs out, add a bit more water. When the bulgar and quinoa is done, combine with the bean mixture and stir. Serve while warm.
Serves about 4.
