quinoa pepper pilaf
(2 ratings)
This protein-packed quinoa is toasted, then cooked until tender with sweet peppers and garlic for a hearty side dish or add some meat or seafood for the main dish! This dish is from Swanson Vegetable Broth. I think this is another great way to use quinoa other than in a salad.
