Spicy Tomato Quinoa

Is this becoming a food blog? I dunno. Well, here's another recipe I made up today. It's pretty delicious.

Ingredients:

1 cup uncooked Quinoa
3 cups Water
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (I'm copying Rachael Ray with the abbreviation "EVOO")
Salt and Pepper (S+P)
1 spoonful of Chicken Bouillon (I'm guessing a little less than a tablespoon)
1 tsp dried Parsley
1 pinch Red Chilli Flakes (or more if you'd like)
1 tsp dried Oregano
2 tsp Cumin
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (the secret ingredient...shhh)
3 cloves of Garlic, minced
1/4 cup minced Onion (whatever kind)
1 14.5 oz can of diced Tomatoes

De steps:

1.) Bring uncooked Quinoa, water, EVOO, Bouillon, S+P, and Parsley to a boil; once boiled, cover for about 13-15 minutes.

2.) Meanwhile, saute onion and garlic; add entire can of Tomatoes and combine with a little bit of EVOO.

3.) Mix in the Red Chilli Flakes and Oregano into the tomato sauce and cover for about 5 minutes.

4.) Fluff up the Quinoa with a fork, and add tomato sauce. Mix lightly, and serve.

That's it! Simple, huh? I served my Spicy Tomato Quinoa with grated Parmigiano Reggiano and chopped fresh Basil leaves.

Mangia (:
