Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper stemmed, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 5 garlic minced
  • 1 Tbsp paprika
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 1/2 tsp cumin ground
  • 6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, then more as needed
  • 1 lb. red potatoes unpeeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup quinoa well rinsed and drained, white
  • 1 cup corn fresh or frozen
  • 2 tomato cored and chopped coarse
  • 1 cup peas frozen
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • 4 oz queso fresco crumbled, or feta cheese
  • 1 avocado halved, pitted and diced
  • 1/2 cup cilantro fresh, minced

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper and saute until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2.  Stir in garlic, paprika, coriander, and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in broth and potatoes and bring to a boil over high heat. 
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low (I covered the pot from this point on) and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
  4. Stir in quinoa and simmer for 8 minutes. Stir in corn (I actually waited to add corn until adding the peas since I used frozen corn) and simmer until potatoes and quinoa are just tender, about 5 - 7 minutes. 
  5. Stir in tomatoes and peas and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat, season with salt and pepper to taste. 
  7. Sprinkle each serving with queso fresco, avocado and cilantro before serving.
