Ingredients
To Make The Quinoa:
- 1 ½ cups quinoa rinsed well
- 3 cups water or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Earth Balance Original Buttery Spread
To Make The Power Bowl:
- 3 tablespoons Earth Balance Original Buttery Spread divided
- 1 package of Gardein Classic Meatless Meatballs
- 1 cup fresh corn
- 10-12 stalks of asparagus rinsed and cut into small (1 inch pieces)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 cup scallions chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ cup sprouts or salad greens
- ½ cup red cabbage chopped
- 1 ripe avocado cut into small cubes
- 4-6 baby bell peppers
- Drizzle of olive oil optional
Instructions
- To make the quinoa: Place quinoa, water (or vegetable broth), salt, and Earth Balance Original Buttery Spread in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Give it a mix, put the lid on, and bring it to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, turn the heat down to low and cook for 12-14 minutes or until the liquid is full absorbed. Turn off the heat and let it cool for 15-20 minutes. Fluff it with a fork.
- To cook the meatballs: Heat 2 tablespoons Earth Balance Original Buttery Spread in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add in the frozen Gardein Classic Meatless Meatballs and sauté for 15-17 minutes, turning often. If your skillet is a small one, you may have to do it in 2 batches. Transfer the now-cooked meatballs from the skillet to a plate and cover with foil to keep them warm. Do not turn the heat off
- Add in the remaining 1 tablespoon Earth Balance Original Buttery Spread into the skillet and sauté fresh corn and asparagus over medium heat for 5-6 minutes or until they are soft. Season with salt and pepper. As you are sautéing the corn and asparagus, use a wooden spoon and scrape the bits of the meatballs (if there are any) to mix them with the vegetables.
- To assemble the Quinoa Power Bowls: Add in scallions and lemon juice into the cooked quinoa. Taste for seasoning and add in, if necessary.
- Divide quinoa amongst 4 large bowls and top them off with cooked meatballs*, asparagus, corn, sprouts, red cabbage, and avocado. If preferred, drizzle each bowl with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and serve immediately.
Notes
- Each package comes with 12 meatballs so it should 3 meatballs per serving. Each serving of meatballs is 150 calories.
