Quinoa Corn And Zucchini Medley Recipes

Steps:

• Cook 3/4 cup rinsed tricolor quinoa as the label directs, adding 1/4 teaspoon allspice to the water. Meanwhile, toss 2 sliced zucchini with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 grated garlic clove; season with salt and pepper. Bake at 450 degrees F until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir into the quinoa along with 1/2 cup golden raisins and 2 tablespoons each olive oil, chopped cilantro and dill. Season with salt.

Steps:

• Place the quinoa in a bowl, and cover with cold water. Let sit five minutes. Drain through a strainer, and rinse until the water runs clear.
• Bring the water or stock to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Heat another medium saucepan or lidded skillet over medium-high heat, and add the quinoa. Toast, stirring, until the grains have separated and begin to smell fragrant. Add the water or stock and salt. It should come to a boil quickly. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, until the quinoa is tender and translucent and each grain displays a little thread. Drain and return to the pan. Cover the pan with a clean dish towel, replace the lid and allow to sit undisturbed for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes, and add the garlic, corn and zucchini. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until the zucchini is tender and translucent and the corn tender, five to eight minutes. Stir in the quinoa and toss together. Heat through, add the herbs and serve with a little crumbled queso fresco or feta sprinkled on top if desired.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes, then stir in garlic and quinoa. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook and stir the mixture until the quinoa becomes light brown in color and has a toasted fragrance, 5 to 7 minutes. Slowly pour in the stock, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture back to a boil over medium heat, and stir in the zucchini, mushrooms, and celery; season to taste with salt and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low, and allow the mixture to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the baby spinach and garbanzo beans, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 10 to 15 more minutes.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Reserve 1 tablespoon of drippings. Drain bacon, chop, and set aside.
• Heat the bacon drippings in the skillet over medium heat. Saute the zucchini, corn, and onion until tender but still crisp, about 10 minutes. Season with pepper. Spoon vegetables into a bowl, and sprinkle with chopped bacon and shredded cheese.

Steps:

• Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Cook and stir onion in the melted butter until translucent, about 5 minutes. Cut kernels from the ears of corn. Add zucchini and corn; cook and stir until zucchini is tender, about 8 minutes. Season with sea salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet.
• Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown.
• Drain, reserving 1 tablespoon of drippings, crumble and set aside.
• In the skillet with the bacon drippings, saute the zucchini, corn and onion over medium heat until crisp tender, about 10 to 13 minutes.
• Season with pepper.
• Spoon vegetables into a bowl and sprinkle with cheese and crumbled bacon.

Steps:

• Put oil in large pan.
• Warm pan while dicing veggies.
• Dice the tomatoes, halve the green beans, slice the zucchini diagonally (makes it look fun!), and chop the garlic.
• Keep the pan on a medium temp, you want the juices to blend slowly.
• Throw the garlic and zucchini in warmed pan first, then add the rest.
• Throw dash of salt on the veggies to bring out the juices.
• The tomatoes will cook down almost completely, but the color they add is essential!
• Cook over medium heat until either Al Dente or soft, whatever you prefer!
• ENJOY!
