  3. Add in the vegetable broth and potatoes. Bring it to a boil. Turn down the heat to medium-low and let it simmer 10-12 minutes.
  4. Stir in the quinoa and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes until both the potatoes and quinoa are cooked.
  5. Stir in the corn and tomatoes and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

Notes

  • Storage: Quinoa vegetable stew can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Freezing: Bring the stew to room temperature, put it in an airtight container, and place it in the freezer. The dish will stay fresh for up to 1 month.
  • Thawing: To thaw a frozen portion of stew, leave the sealed container in the fridge overnight. Once the stew has reached fridge temperature, heat it up using the stove or microwave.Because of its absorbent ingredients, this quinoa stew often loses liquid over time. If your stew becomes too thick, mix in ½ cup of water, vegetable stock, or chicken stock at a time until it returns to the desired consistency.
