Ingredients

• Chickpeas – 2 cups cooked or canned, drained and rinsed
• Quinoa – 1 cup, rinsed
• Fresh spinach – 3 cups, chopped
• Red bell pepper – 1 medium, diced
• Carrots – 2 medium, shredded
• Garlic cloves – 3, minced
• Green onions – 2, sliced thin
• Low-sodium soy sauce or tamari – 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil – 1 tablespoon
• Fresh lemon juice – 1 tablespoon
• Ground cumin – 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder – ½ teaspoon (optional)
• Sea salt – to taste
• Black pepper – to taste
• Fresh parsley or cilantro – ¼ cup, chopped (for garnish)
• Water or vegetable broth – 2 cups (for cooking quinoa)

Equipment

• Medium saucepan with lid (for cooking quinoa)
• Large skillet or wok
• Cutting board and knife
• Mixing bowls
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Wooden spoon or spatula

Instructions

1. Cook the quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it rest covered for 5 minutes.
2. Prepare the vegetables: While quinoa cooks, dice the red bell pepper, shred the carrots, chop the spinach, mince garlic, and slice green onions. Set aside.
3. Sauté aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Add veggies: Toss in the diced red bell pepper, shredded carrots, and green onions. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
5. Stir in chickpeas and spinach: Add the chickpeas and chopped spinach to the skillet. Stir frequently until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Season the mixture: Sprinkle in the ground cumin, chili powder (if using), sea salt, and black pepper. Pour the soy sauce and lemon juice over the mixture. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
7. Combine quinoa with veggies: Add the cooked quinoa to the skillet and gently fold everything together. Heat for another 2 minutes to ensure everything is warm and mixed evenly.
8. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley or cilantro on top before serving. Enjoy warm.

Tips & Variations

Tip: For extra protein and texture, toss in some roasted pumpkin seeds or hemp seeds just before serving. This adds a nice crunch and boosts your nutrient intake.

• Swap quinoa for brown rice or couscous if you prefer different grains.
• Add other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or snap peas for variety.
• Use tamari instead of soy sauce to make it gluten-free.
• For a spicier kick, drizzle with Sriracha or your favorite hot sauce.
• Try adding fresh avocado slices on top for creaminess and healthy fats.
