Ingredients:
  • 1020.00 gm vegetable liquid stock
  • 350g quinoa
  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • 2 medium red capsicums, roughly chopped
  • 1 medium eggplant, roughly chopped
  • 2 medium zucchini, roughly chopped
  • 40.00 ml fresh oregano leaves
  • 86.63 gm lemon juice
  • Fresh oregano leaves, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan, heat the stock and quinoa over medium-high heat until boiling. Reduce heat to low and simmer covered, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until quinoa is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 10 minutes before serving.
  • Prepare a heavy-based saucepan with a light coating of oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add capsicum and eggplant and sauté while stirring for 1 to 2 minutes until they begin to soften. Cover and cook for 15 minutes until fully softened. Mix in zucchini, onion, and oregano, combining them well. Continue cooking covered for an additional 5 minutes until the zucchini is tender.
  • Combine the zucchini mixture and lemon juice with the quinoa. Mix well, then season generously with pepper and sprinkle oregano on top.
