Pesto Qunioa Couscous with Veggies


So I ended up eating that sun dried tomato quinoa dish for MONTHS. It was time to change it up. I found a pesto quinoa dish from this but I also added couscous, mushrooms, broccoli and peas.

Heather's Quinoa - Angel Style

-extra-virgin olive oil
-1 yellow onion, chopped
-1 cup quinoa
-1 cup couscous
-1 cup corn, fresh or frozen
-1 cup broccoli, chopped
-1 package of extra-firm tofu, chopped
-1/3 cup pesto
-1/3 cup pumpkin seed
-1 package of sun dried tomatoes, chopped

1. Stir fry shallot and tofu in olive oil for around a minute.

2. Add corn, broccoli, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes.

3. Cook quinoa and couscous separately. I just add 4 cups of water to the couscous/quinoa mixture, bring to a boil and then simmer until most of the water is gone and you end up with a fluffy mixture.

4. Mix everything in a big pot. Add pesto.

Result - Nice texture and a great way to have a lot of veggies. I ate this for 2 weeks straight.
