Step 1
Start by heating some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the onions and the red, green, and yellow peppers, stirring occasionally, and cook them for about 5 minutes until they start to soften. Next, add the garlic and cook for another couple of minutes until fragrant. Stir in the quinoa, vegetable stock, and tomato puree, then bring everything to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat, cover the pan, and let it simmer gently for around 20 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender. After that, mix in the diced tomatoes and sprinkle in some Italian seasoning. Give it a good stir and cook just until everything is warmed through. Then it’s ready to enjoy!
