    Inca Red Quinoa Stir-Fry

    Published: Jul 22, 2014 · Updated: Aug 18, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Who doesn’t love quinoa? I particularly love the red version – you can combine red, black and white for a wonderful look. Such a wonderful ancient seed – not really a grain, but you can use it as such. Quinoa is an ancient seed (not really a grain) from the Inca civilization. It's a complete protein and contains more than other grains. Reprinted with permission from There's a Vegan in the Kitchen: Viva la Vegan's Easy and Tasty Plant-Based Recipes* by Leigh-Chantelle from Viva la Vegan! copyright © 2014. Published by Epicentre Equilibrium.

    Serves 3-4 people

    • 1 cup red quinoa
    • 2 cups filtered water
    • 2 garlic cloves, crushed 
    • 1 long eggplant, thinly sliced
    • 4 small yellow summer squashes, thinly sliced
    • 1 zucchini, thinly sliced
    • ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
    • 1 bunch bok choy, coarsely chopped
    • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

    In a saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring to a slow boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

    In a skillet or stir-fry pan, sauté the garlic cloves in a small amount of water. 

    Add the eggplant, squashes, zucchini, and bell pepper, and stir-fry until tender.

    Add the bok choy and stir-fry until tender-crisp.

    Stir in the cooked quinoa, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
