Vegan Quinoa Recipe - Ingredients And Directions To Make The Perfect Vegan Quinoa

This vegan quinoa recipe uses zucchini and coconut milk as the base for a creamy garlic sauce

. If you haven't tried cooking with quinoa before, it is very easy to make if you follow my instructions. The grain has a slightly nutty taste, and it is very popular right now for vegans and vegetarians because of its protein profile.

It has all the essential amino acids in one food, which is helpful for those who don't eat a wide variety of healthy vegan foods. If raw garlic is too strong for you, roast it before putting it in the sauce.

Prep Time: 10 min. Cooking Time: 30 min.

Time from start to eating: 40 min.

Makes enough for 2 for dinner.

Vegan Quinoa Recipe Ingredients

1 cup (dry measure) quinoa

1 zucchini

2 cloves garlic, raw or roasted

1/2 onion

1 Tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)

cup coconut milk

pinch sea salt and pepper

tsp nutmeg

Vegan Quinoa Recipe Directions

Start by cooking the quinoa. Rinse it with water and drain, then add 2 cups water and a sprinkle of sea salt to the water. Bring this to a boil, then turn down to simmer for 20-30 minutes. When you see the swirl of the grains, with a translucent center, the quinoa is fully cooked. It should be fluffy if you don't stir the quinoa while it cooks.

Make the sauce while the quinoa is cooking by putting the rest of the ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend the zucchini with enough coconut milk and/or water to get it smooth. Add the garlic and onion in stages to make sure the sauce stays smooth.

Serve the cooked quinoa topped with the sauce alone, or add some chopped vegetables, steamed or raw.
