Quinoa Wild Rice Veggie Bowl

Can you tell that I like quinoa? Actually we all do and it's so stinkin good for ya, that we eat it often! It's great for alkaline meals, and quinoa is also a complete protein! For this dish, I used this stuff:
Sprouted rice & quinoa. Pretty good stuff! You can definitely boil separate pans of rice & quinoa if you can't find it or just don't want to. :)

Quinoa Wild Rice Veggie Bowl
2 1/2 c sprouted rice & quinoa blend
4 1/2 c filtered water (I add vegetable broth powder to this for added flavor)
Simmer 25 minutes, and then take off burner and let it steam for 10 more.

1 small onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 carrots, shredded
1 pepper, diced finely
coconut oil
Warm oil in pan and add onion and pepper. Saute about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant (30 seconds or so). Add carrots last. Mix and then turn off burner. Add 2 t cumin, a few dashes of cayenne pepper (or more), sea salt & pepper to taste. Mix well.

After quinoa blend has cooled some, add the above mixture to it. Add vegetables of your desire (I added 1 1/2 c diced raw broccoli). Then add 1 small bag of non-GMO frozen corn, juice of 3 limes, 1/2 c or more chopped cilantro leaves. Mix well. Taste and see if you need more sea salt. It can be eaten warm, cold and at room temp. This was a huge hit!
