AI
Ingredients
- 400g canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 200g quinoa
- 1 tablespoon harissa paste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 200g frozen mixed vegetables (like bell peppers, carrots, and peas)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Steps
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water, then cook it according to package instructions, typically in 500ml of water, bringing it to a boil and then simmering for about 15 minutes until fluffy.
- While the quinoa cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the drained chickpeas, harissa paste, cumin, salt, and pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the chickpeas are slightly crispy and well-coated with the spices.
- Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until heated through and slightly tender.
- Once the quinoa is ready, fluff it with a fork and mix in the lemon juice for brightness.
- To assemble, divide the quinoa among bowls, top with the spicy chickpea and vegetable mixture, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm.
