For those of us who get got Type II diabetes, yous lot KNOW how hard it is to regain something quick, ho-hum inward add-on to tasty that won't post service your glucose meter into a spin. Well, here is a recipe that is actually diabetes friendly inward add-on to it SCREAMS comfort food for me.

This recipe is super quick inward add-on to ho-hum to make!!  It is definitely inward my 5 star recipe box inward add-on to I testament check upwards freezing single portions of it for my busy day quick hot lunch!!


This is delicious at room
temperature as skillful !!

QUINOA LUNCH

1 loving loving cup chopped onion  
1 clove garlic minced
1 seeded inward add-on to de-veined jalapeno pepper chopped (optional)
1 loving loving cup white quinoa (rinsed skillful inward add-on to drained)
15 ounce tin sack depression mutual tabular array salt kidney beans, rinsed inward add-on to drained 
1  diced cerise bell pepper
14.5 ounce tin sack diced tomatoes (NOT-drained)
1  14.5 ounce tin sack of water
1 loving loving cup corn  (I used frozen)

1 teaspoon corporation soil cumin (don't run out out)

1/4 teaspoon nighttime pepper
4 ounce tin sack diced mild dark-green chiles (un-drained)


Make sure enough yous lot rinse the dry out out quinoa grain under mutual frigidity running H2O before cooking it. Quinoa has a natural coating (almost like a dust?) that tin sack gustation bitter if non rinsed off. Some brands of quinoa province "pre-rinsed" but I rinse that 1 too.......just to check upwards condom (it only takes a 2d to do).

Saute the chopped onion inward a tablespoon of vegetable crude until the onions are soft inward add-on to starting fourth dimension smelling sweet. Add the garlic inward add-on to saute for another 30 to threescore seconds (but sentinel adult human being inward add-on to thence it doesn't burn).

Add everything else, stir well, inward add-on to bring to a boil. Lower oestrus to a gentle simmer and put the lid on to create for 15-20 minutes (depending on how hot your pan is).  After xx minutes, turn oestrus OFF but leave lid on inward add-on to permit it sit down downwards for about 10 minutes.

If yous lot are novel to cooking quinoa, yous lot testament know it is done when yous lot run across a TINY white sprout scroll inside each grain of quinoa.

NOTE: I don't handle for tons of spice, inward add-on to thence I oftentimes run out out the chopped jalapeno inward add-on to instead, role 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne.

NOTE: I freeze this inward 1 loving loving cup containers for a quick lunch.  The side by times side day, I pop 1 of these containers into the microwave (still frozen) inward add-on to oestrus on high for ii 1/2 minutes (about half that 4th dimension if it isn't frozen). It makes a wonderful tiffin !!



NOTE: My all 4th dimension favorite means to swallow this (and mayhap it is only me), but I honey it steaming hot, topped with a scoop of ice cold obese gratis cottage cheese.  Yum!!!
