Vegan Red Beans and Quinoa

Southern-style comfort food that just happens to also be high in protein, gluten-free and vegan!

Served alongside Beer Braised Collard Greens and a slice of cornbread, you’ve got a hearty, delicious meal:

Ingredients for Vegan Red Beans and Quinoa:
 
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons yellow onion, chopped
1/3 cup green pepper, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
15-ounce can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning, or to taste
sea salt, too taste
ground black pepper, to taste
 
 
How to make Vegan Red Beans and Quinoa:

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Add the onion, green pepper, and celery.  Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes or until vegetables have softened a bit.

Add the garlic and continue cooking another 1-2 minutes.

Add the thyme, kidney beans, and vegetable broth.  Increase heat and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to Low, cover, and allow to simmer 10 minutes.

Stir in the quinoa and season to taste.

Serve warm.

 

Cheers!
