Beet Quinoa Nourish Bowl (v, gf)

Ingredients:

Beets + beet greens

Onion

Your choice of nut

Quinoa

Directions & How to cook beets:

1. Add ¼ cup of rinsed quinoa and ½ cup of water to a pot over high heat. Cover with a lid. Leave until it boils, then turn to low heat. Cook for 20 minutes or until fluffy.

2. Rinse the beets and beet greens. Separate the beet greens from the beets.

3. Chop the beets into chunks.

  • a. If you have an oven, place the beets on a baking tray. Roast (bake) for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees F.
  • b. If you have a stove-top, place the beets and a splash of water in a pan over medium-high heat. Cover the pan with a lid. Cook until soft for about 10-12 minutes. Watch closely and stir occasionally.

4. Tear or chop the beet greens into pieces. Set aside.

5. Remove the outer layer of the onion. Chop as much onion as you like into fine pieces.

6. Add the greens, onion, and a splash of water in a pan over medium-high heat. Cover with lid. Cook for about 3 minutes. Remove the lid to let excess water evaporate.

7. Chop the nuts into rough pieces.

8. Combine as much as you would like together.
