Quinoa with Green Beans

 

1 cup quinoa

9 oz. green beans

2 garlic cloves

9 oz. chicken-style broth (vegan)

1 - 15 oz. can tomatoes, chopped

1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped

1 1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice, fresh

salt to taste

 

Wash the quinoa very well to remove the soapy-tasting substance in the

outer coat. Clean the green beans and slice into 1-inch (2-cm) lengths. Chop

the garlic finely.

 

Place quinoa and chicken-style broth in a saucepan. Bring to boil, cover

and simmer 5 minutes. Add green beans and tomatoes with their juice. Simmer

5 minutes more, covered, then add garlic and cook, covered, until beans and

quinoa are soft, stirring occasionally.

 

Season to taste with basil, lemon juice, and salt. Serve hot or cold.
