Equipment
Method
- In a medium pot, combine quinoa and 500 ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork afterward.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the sliced mushrooms and garlic, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
- Add the cooked quinoa, kidney beans, and green peas to the skillet. Stir gently to combine and heat through, around 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and the juice of one lemon.
- Remove from heat and fold in the chopped dill.
- Divide the quinoa bowl amongst serving dishes. Optionally, top with crumbled feta, and serve with lemon wedges alongside.
