  • 1 can (400 grams / 14 oz.) crushed tomatoes

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried cayenne pepper
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups (400 grams) uncooked quinoa (washed)

  • 1 cup fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. In a large pan over medium heat sauté the onions and garlic in a splash of water for three minutes, until the onions + garlic turn clear.

  3. Add the vegetable stock, crushed tomatoes, spices (except the salt), herbs and quinoa.
  4. Bring to a boil then reduce to medium high heat and cover the pan.
  5. Let it simmer gently until the quinoa is cooked and the hot sauce is absorbed – 15-20 minutes.

Notes

Instead of lemon or salt you could also taste it with some soy sauce.
