This quinoa and vegetable stew is full of protein, fiber, and vitamins and tastes great. You can make this meal ahead of time for the week or for a cozy night in. It's really easy to make in the slow cooker, and the flavors blend together so well as it cooks.
Ingredients: 1 cup quinoa, rinsed. 1 can 15 oz chickpeas, drained and rinsed. 2 carrots, diced. 2 celery stalks, diced. 1 bell pepper, diced. 1 onion, diced. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1 can 15 oz diced tomatoes. 4 cups vegetable broth. 1 teaspoon cumin. 1 teaspoon paprika. 1 teaspoon dried thyme. Salt and pepper to taste. Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish.
Instructions: To make a slow cooker dish, put quinoa, chickpeas, celery, carrots, onion, garlic, bell pepper, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, cumin, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper in it. Set the timer for 3 to 4 hours on high or 6 to 8 hours on low. The vegetables should be soft and the quinoa should be cooked all the way through. Serve hot with fresh parsley on top. Have fun!
