One Pot Qunioa and Greens

Serves 2

This dish is a fast and easy way to make a balanced and complete meal with just the push of a button and only one dish to clean! You can also make it on the stovetop—just use a medium saucepan and cover to cook for 15-20 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dry quinoa (red or yellow)
  • 1.75 cups water
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 pound cooking greens (turnip, collard, Swiss chard, etc.)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Add rinsed quinoa to the rice cooker bowl or saucepan.
  2. Add half the bag (or 1/2 pound of greens) to the pot – it will seem like a LOT, but it will cook down.
  3. Pour in 1.75 cups water.
  4. Add a little coconut oil or other oil of your choice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to season.
  5. If you cook this in the rice cooker, this is as easy as pressing GO (on the quick-cooking setting). If you cook on the stovetop, simmer until the quinoa is tender underneath.
  6. When you open the lid you will see delicious, cooked greens on top!
  7. And find nutty, red quinoa all cooked and ready on the bottom.
  8. Adjust any additional seasoning as needed, then serve and enjoy!
