Method

1

Inizia portando a ebollizione il brodo vegetale in una pentola capiente. Aggiungi il rosmarino e lascia sobbollire a fuoco lento mentre prepari gli altri ingredienti.

2

In una padella grande, scalda l'olio extravergine d'oliva a fuoco medio. Aggiungi la cipolla e l'aglio tritati, e soffriggi per circa 3 minuti fino a che non sono traslucidi.

3

Unisci il pollo a cubetti nella padella e cuoci fino a che non è dorato su tutti i lati, circa 5-7 minuti. Aggiusta di sale e pepe.

4

Aggiungi il pomodoro grattugiato, il peperone e i fagiolini, mescolando bene, e cuoci per altri 5 minuti.

5

Versa la quinoa nella padella e mescola per amalgamare il tutto. Aggiungi il brodo vegetale caldo, mescola e porta a ebollizione.

6

Se utilizzi lo zafferano, aggiungilo ora. Riduci il fuoco al minimo, copri con un coperchio e lascia cuocere per 15-20 minuti fino a quando la quinoa è cotta e ha assorbito il liquido.

7

Togli dal fuoco e lascia riposare coperto per 5 minuti prima di servire.
