Are you a whole grain buff? Have you memorized all the health benefits associated with each and every grain? Are you finding yourself searching out meals and recipes that specifically call for these amazing Super Foods? If so, then today’s recipe is just for you.
Black beans are a super healthy, extremely tasty snack or side dish, that is packed full of all the fiber and protein you’re looking for in your diet. Alone, they are already a very healthy alternative to most dishes. But when combined with one of our favorite whole grains, our Organic Quinoa, these seemingly innocent beans take on a super healthy alter-ego! Plus, they just taste mouth-wateringly amazing! It’s time to bake up some Quinoa and Black Beans!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups Water
3 cloves Garlic, chopped
2 cups Vegetable Broth
1 tsp Cumin
1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
Directions:
First, cook your beans. Using your Fagor Pressure Cooker, cook beans and water together on “High” pressure setting for 30 minutes. When done cooking, release pressure, drain any excess water, and place to the side.
