Instructions

How to Make a Quinoa Coconut Bowl

  • Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water to remove its natural bitterness. Combine it with 2 cups of water or broth in a medium pot.
  • Cook the quinoa over medium heat, bringing it to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and cover, allowing it to simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed.
  • Sauté the garlic in a bit of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the bell peppers to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they soften.
  • Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  • Mix in the cooked quinoa, coconut milk, salt, pepper, and curry powder. Stir until heated through, allowing the flavors to meld for about 3-4 minutes.
  • Serve the quinoa coconut bowl warm, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

Notes

Optional: Pair with toasted nuts for added crunch and texture.
