Quinoa Stew

I have chosen Bolivia as the country starting with B. Initially I had Brazil in mind but that didn't work out for me. But this quinoa stew was a way better choice for us, I think. 

The kids loved this soup and we finished all of it for lunch leaving just the comments and the 'oohs and aahs' for my husband who just gave a blank look in the evening after getting back from work :).

Quinoa Stew

Method Of Preparation -


In a pressure cooker or a Big Stock pot, heat oil and saute onions for about 4-5 minutes until they brown. Add the grated garlic and bay leaf and saute.

Add in the tomato puree, carrots, celery, bell pepper and garbanzo beans. Let the whole mixture cook for a few minutes.

Add in the quinoa, water and vegetable stock. Sprinkle salt as needed. Cover and cook for about 20 min. 

I used a pressure cooker and so I cooked for 2 hisses. Upon cooling, I added cilantro and served after squeezing some lime juice.
