Instructions for Roasted Bell Pepper Quinoa Recipe

To begin making the Roasted Bell Pepper Quinoa Recipe, wash the quinoa and set aside.

In a pressure cooker, combine the quinoa with water, add 1 teaspoon olive oil and salt, mix well and close the pressure cooker.

Pressure cook the quinoa for 4 whistles and turn off the heat. Allow the pressure to release naturally.

In a skillet, heat oil on medium flame, add the garlic and saute until it turns into a light brown colour.

To this add rosemary, finely chopped bell peppers, salt and cook on high heat for a couple of minutes until the bell peppers soften a bit.

Finally add black pepper powder and turn off the heat. Stir in the quinoa to the roasted bell peppers, add freshly squeezed lemon juice and toss well.

Once done, give the Roasted Bell Pepper Quinoa a taste, adjust the seasonings and transfer to a serving bowl.
