A vibrant and nutritious Spanish-inspired quinoa dish, perfect for any meal.
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
Using a good-quality olive oil can enhance the flavor of the dish.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the diced tomato and chopped bell pepper to the saucepan and cook for a few minutes.
This step helps to soften the vegetables and blend the flavors.
Stir in the quinoa, chili powder, and cumin, ensuring the quinoa is well coated with the spices.
Toasting the quinoa slightly can add a nutty flavor.
Pour in the water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
Check occasionally to ensure the quinoa doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
Fluff the quinoa with a fork and serve warm.
Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for added freshness.
