Quinoa Spanish Rice (Healthy, Grain Free Recipe)

I have decided to go Vegan for health reasons only. Not only Vegan but as close to Plant Based Whole food as possible. I have always loved cooking but this is definitely a new approach. Let's give this a whirl. In the first 3 months I have lost 30lbs and my blood pressure and Cholesterol went from high to low. So far so good. I have added some fish and shrimp due to my good Cholesterol also being low.

subheading: Here is what you’ll need to make this tasty Spanish quinoa rice recipe, plus ideas for substituting ingredients:

onion - any color will work, use whatever you have on hand

garlic - if you don’t have fresh on hand, sub with garlic powder

quinoa - white or tri-color (I used half and half of each)

tomato paste - can sub with diced tomatoes (or use both), which also adds more texture and bits of color

green bell pepper - can be optional

vegetable broth - my favorite is using about ½ teaspoon Better Than Bouillon veg paste (affiliate link) with the amount of liquid called for

salt + pepper - to taste

cilantro - adds a pop of color as garnish and it takes great, but can be optional
