Over the past year, I have been making a lot of dishes with quinoa. This one-pot quinoa tomato recipe is one of the best.

I discovered quinoa after reading about its health properties on The New Whole Foods Encyclopedia: A Comprehensive Resource for Healthy Eating. It was helpful to learn that it is a gluten-free grain as well as a fantastic source of calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and protein – containing all nine essential amino acids.

I have experimented and made various quinoa dishes that have incorporated vegetables – creating new colorful side dishes that have really changed the way I look at grains.

For this dish, I used quinoa as the base and added in a medley of colorful tomatoes, chickpeas, corn and zucchini along with some basil, garlic, saffron and olive oil to enhance its flavors. This simple dish can also be modified by incorporating your personally favorite veggies. You can also serve it “as is” with a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper. Enjoy!
