Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. When oil is hot, add garlic and onion and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and quinoa and cook until the juice is absorbed, about 2-3 minutes.

2. Add stock, basil, lemon, and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until stock is absorbed, approx 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Add feta and spinach stirring until spinach is wilted and cheese is melted. Adjust with pepper to taste.

Delicious!! Made just as written for once, except for using double the lemon zest and just a bit less olive oil.
