Garlicky Quinoa with Black Beans
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 3/4 cup quinoa
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
1
Collect all the necessary components required for this dish.
2
Heat a substantial amount of oil in a large cooking vessel over an intermediate temperature. Introduce the onion and garlic into the saucepan; stir constantly until they have undergone a light transformation, approximately equivalent to 10 minutes.
3
Merge the quinoa with the onion mixture and cover it with a liquid made from vegetables; add a pinch of cumin, a dash of cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to enhance the flavor.
4
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil; cover it, decrease the heat level, and allow it to simmer until the quinoa becomes tender and the liquid has been fully absorbed, roughly equivalent to 20 minutes.
5
Add frozen corn kernels to the saucepan and continue to simmer until they have reached a heated state, approximately 5 minutes. Introduce black beans into the mixture and sprinkle some chopped cilantro on top to complete the dish.
