I love quinoa. There is something about eating the tiny grain that is really fun for me. But I actually stumbled across this recipe because I was looking for a new use for artichoke hearts. I am perfectly happy eating them straight out of the can, but I was looking for something that would give the can some more mileage. When I saw this recipe on one of my favorite food websites I was ready to create it myself.
The full recipe can be found here. The only change that I made was adding garbanzo beans instead of kidney beans (and I only did that because I forgot to soak some kidney beans the night before). Next time I will try it with red kidney beans.
Here is how it looked after the quinoa had cooked and I had just added the zucchini.
Let's see.... what's left?
That's right Zoey, the artichokes! That was the whole point of the adventure!
So this was dinner at my house tonight. And as you can see from the first picture, there will be plenty for tomorrow too. This is a great way to get in some of the seasons fresh produce and one of my favorite grains!
