Created by me during my experimental phase in vegan cooking, this dish has quickly become a favourite in vegan and non-vegan communities alike.

This recipe was invented during a period when I was experimenting with various combinations of vegan ingredients, in search of a dish that was not only healthy and vegan, but also delicious and filling. The result was this delightful, flavour-packed vegan delight.

Ingredients

200 grams quinoa
2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
1 pieces onion
2 pieces garlic cloves
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cups fresh basil leaves
to taste grams salt and pepper

Instructions

First, rinse the quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until they are soft and fragrant.
Add the quinoa to the pan and stir it around to toast it lightly.
Pour in the vegetable broth, add the mixed vegetables, and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the quinoa and vegetables simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the vegetables are tender.
Season with salt and pepper, and stir in the fresh basil just before serving.
