Veggie Bake Creation

My Veggie Quinoa Bake Creation
This recipe takes time but it is a very simple and easy way to combine the protein you need (from the Quinoa) along with the packed nutritional value of a variety of veggies.

A) Line the pan with the ingredients below:

1 Cup Quinoa (I used red)
2 Cups of filtered Water
1-2 Table of Organic Olive Oil or some other oil you like
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of dried or fresh organic Rosemary
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons dried or fresh organic Thyme

B) Cook the following in a pan with Olive Oil or Coconut Oil until onions are close to translucent.

1 Yellow onion- sliced and diced
1 Whole Garlic Head- Sliced and minced
Season with Turmeric, Sea Salt and Basil. Add spices to your liking.

When done, place this onion/garlic/seasoning mixture into pan with Quinoa mixture and let it sit.

C) Cut up your remaining Veggies for the dish- use whatever you like.

This one includes:

1 Yellow Pepper
2 Red Pepper
4 Green Peppers
1-2 Zucchini or summer squash
Bunch of cherry tomatoes

I like to place the layer of peppers in first, and then layer squash on top with some tomato mixed in.
I also added some sprouts as my farmer friends always have a bunch around the house.

D) The Top Layer:

A few leaves of Chard or Kale to cut up and sprinkle as a top crust layer- Place Oil on top (this will leave a yummy “kale chip like” crunch to the top.

Please note if you are using a lot of veggies, then you will want to add in a bit more water so the dish will not dry out.

Bake at 350 for about 1- 1 ½ hour. Bake long enough for the water to evaporate and cook the quinoa while baking and to crisp the top to your liking.
Enjoy with Love :-)
