Quinoa and Veggies

 

2 cups quinoa

1 cup wild rice

1 tablespoon olive oil or peanut oil

1 cup mushrooms, diced

1/2 cup diced chives

1/2 cup diced orange bell pepper

1/2 cup diced yellow bell pepper

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon cayenne or crushed red pepper

 

In a large skillet, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa and

cook, stirring occasionally, until it expands out of its shell, about 10

minutes; be careful not to overcook it.

 

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice and

cook, stirring occasionally until done, about 20 minutes.

 

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms,

chives, bell peppers, salt, and cayenne pepper. Cook, while stirring, for

about 3 minutes. Add the quinoa and rice and stir until hot. Serve

immediately.
