One-pot Quinoa Coral Lentils & zucchini
On September 2020, I am taking on the challenge of offering you a new recipe every day based on a seasonal vegetable or fruit.
This One-pot Quinoa Coral Lentils & Zucchini is a delicious way to nicely twist the simple Zucchini recipes that you are used to do again and again.
What is this One-pot Quinoa made of?
I’m sure that you already know the famous one pot pasta signed Martha Stewart.
The idea is simple: cook all the ingredients at the same time in one pot (another little bonus: no dishes!).
I particularly like the one pot recipes because the possibilities are endless! Here quinoa & coral lentils for more protein. I also paid attention to my choice of spices to match the zucchini: paprika, curry, turmeric and cumin.
In short, a complete meal in a pan!
See you tomorrow for new inspirations!
Enjoy,
Caroline
