I made some of this for lunches this week. It smells amazing while cooking! I've never really cooked with the canned fire-roasted tomatoes before, but now I'm a believer! Fire-roasted tomatoes rock.
Spinach and Tomato Chickpeas with Quinoa (served on 3/22/10)
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 a red onion, diced
4 green onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic
1 can of chickpeas
1 can of fire-roasted tomatoes
a few squirts of lemon juice
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper sauce
7.5 oz (3/4 of a bag) raw spinach
1 cup uncooked quinoa
1 3/4 cup water + 1 vegetable bouillon cube
Put your quinoa on to cook: Boil the water with the bouillon cube, add the quinoa, stir, cover, reduce heat to low, simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large pot, heat the oil and add the onions and garlic. Cook for about 3 minutes or so, until the onions are softened a bit. Add the chickpeas, tomatoes, and lemon juice. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until the spinach is wilted.
Serve the spinach and tomato chickpeas over the quinoa. YUM.
Time: 15-20 minutes
