How To Make Quinoa Bowls Recipes

Steps:

• Cook the quinoa as the label directs; set aside. Meanwhile, toss the tomatoes with the parsley, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Set aside until juicy, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes; remove 2 teaspoons drippings and set aside. Add the broccoli to the bacon in the skillet and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the corn and garlic and cook until the corn is tender, 2 minutes. Stir in the spinach in two batches and cook until just wilted. Stir the vegetable mixture and scallions into the quinoa; season with salt.
• Wipe out the skillet and return to medium-high heat. Add the reserved bacon drippings. Crack the eggs into the skillet; season with salt and pepper and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Divide the quinoa mixture among bowls. Top with the tomato mixture and fried eggs.

Steps:

• In a 6-quart saucepan, combine the water, farro, quinoa, bay leaf, the grated zest of 1 lemon and a large pinch of salt. Stir and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir again then cover, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Bump the heat up to medium and cook, uncovered, until all of the liquid has absorbed and the grains are al dente, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Cover, remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes more. Remove and discard the bay leaf and fluff the grains with a fork.
• While the grains cook, prep your veggies, herbs and cut the 2 lemons into 10 wedges. If meal prepping for the week, only cut the amount of avocado you need right away. Refrigerate everything (except the nuts and seeds) in separate airtight containers for up to 3 to 4 days until needed.
• To assemble 1 bowl: Scoop 1/2 cup of the cooked grains into a shallow bowl then top with a few thin avocado slices, some of the cucumber and a handful each of the baby lettuce and carrots. Add a sprinkle of the cashews and sunflower seeds followed by a scoop of hummus. Finish with a sprinkle of herbs, a squeeze of 1 lemon wedge and drizzle of olive oil. Feel free to top the bowl with any of the suggested add-ins or switch-ups.
• After refrigerating the grains, let them come to room temperature before serving. Alternatively, warm them in the microwave, or in a skillet with a little water over low heat until the liquid evaporates.

Steps:

• Prepare quinoa according to package directions. Combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, basil, 1 tablespoon vinegar and lemon juice. Add to cooked quinoa; stir to combine., Place 2-3 in. of water in a large skillet with high sides; add remaining vinegar. Bring to a boil; adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Break 1 cold egg at a time into a small cup; holding cup close to surface of water, slip egg into water.

Keep warm., In a large skillet, heat remaining oil over medium heat. Cook tomatoes until they begin to release their juices, 8-10 minutes. Add arugula; cook and stir just until arugula is wilted, 1-2 minutes., To serve, divide quinoa evenly among 4 bowls. Add cherry tomatoes, arugula, avocado slices and crumbled bacon. Top each with a poached egg.

Steps:

• Tip the onion and bulgur mix into a pan, pour over 600ml water and stir in the thyme and bouillon. Cook, covered, over a low heat for 15 mins, then leave to stand for 10 mins. All the liquid should now be absorbed. When cool, remove the thyme and divide the bulgur between four bowls or plastic containers.
• For the avocado topping, toss all the ingredients together except for the rocket. Pile onto two portions of the bulgur and top with the rocket.
• For the beetroot topping, first pile the chickpeas on top, then toss the beetroot with the tomato, mint, cumin, a good pinch of cinnamon, the oil and vinegar. Toss well, add the orange, then pile onto the remaining portions of bulghur, scatter with the pine nuts and sprinkle with extra cinnamon. Chill in the fridge until needed.

Steps:

• Rinse quinoa thoroughly to remove any residue. Combine quinoa and chicken broth in a large pot over high heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes.
• While the quinoa is cooking, you can prepare the lemon dressing. Zest and juice a lemon into a small bowl. Add olive oil, salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Set aside.
