Black Bean Quinoa with roasted peppers & edamame
Yum! Quinoa is officially my new favorite grain [or I guess fake grain since it’s not actually considered to be a grain…something about it not being a member of the grass family]. Quinoa is high in protein, high in calcium, gluten-free, low-fat, and low-cal. So basically an awesome supplement for pasta & other grains. Here is a super simple quinoa recipe that’s sure to get you guys as hyped up about quinoa as I am right now!
Ingredients:
1 cup of uncooked quinoa [this will make about 3 cups of cooked quinoa—leftovers!]
1/2 cup of yellow pepper, diced
1/2 cup of red pepper, diced
1 cup of black beans
1/2 cup of edamame
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Salt, pepper, ground chili flakes
Optional: Plain yogurt
