Ingredients:
- 1 onion chopped
- 2-3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup quinoa (rinsed)
- 2 cups water or vegetable stock
- 4 tomatoes
- 1 tsp of nutritional yeast
- A handful of fresh basil
- A handful of arugula
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Olive oil
Directions:
- a saucepan over medium heat, cook onions and garlic in olive oil until they become softened.
- Stir in quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, and cover the pan with a lid. Turn down the heat to a simmer, and cook for about 15 minutes.
- While the quinoa is cooking, use a hand blender to make tomato sauce by blending 2 of the tomatoes with a little salt and pepper.
- Dice the remaining 2 tomatoes, and transfer them to a small pan with the tomato blend. Cook for a couple of minutes. Add nutritional yeast, stir, and give it a try. Tweak spices if needed.
