I've had some Swiss chard, zucchini and cilantro for a couple of weeks now and decided to make a fun little "creation" dish tonight. I've seen a few recipes for specific "quinoa salads" and others, but I wanted to do with what I had.
1 handful fresh Swiss chard (about 8-10 stalks), chopped up bite sized
1 clove garlic, minced
4-5 stems of cilantro, chopped
1 zucchini, sliced and then quartered
1 large or equivalent tomatoes, chopped bite sized
1 can (drained) or 1.5 cups prepared black beans
1/2 cup onion, sliced and/or diced, depending on your preference
1 cup quinoa (cook as per directions)
1-2 tbs butter
Sautee butter with onion and garlic until onion starts to turn clear. Add in zucchini and Swiss chard and cover for a few minutes to let the Swiss chard wilt. Add in black beans and cilantro and let them warm up. Stir in the cooked quinoa. Then, put the room-temperature tomatoes on top, add a couple splashes of hot sauce, salt and pepper to taste and serve!
Next time I make it, I'm going to try different veggies too! I think it came out perfectly. :)
