How to Prepare Roasted Poblano Quinoa [Vegan]

For the Quinoa:

  1. First, rinse the quinoa well.
  2. Add all the ingredients into a small saucepan except for the poblano.
  3. Bring to a boil then mash the bouillon and cover the pot, turn to medium-low.
  4. Simmer for 15 minutes for white quinoa and 20 minutes for black quinoa. (I recommend using a timer)
  5. When finished cooking, remove from heat and let sit with the lid on for 5 more minutes.

For the Peppers:

  1. Roast the poblanos on the stovetop on medium-high heat. A gas stove works the best but it will work fine on an electric stove.
  2. Char the peppers on all sides turning with a pair of tongs.
  3. When good and charred, steam them for 10 minutes in a covered dish or a paper bag rolled shut to hold in the steam.
  4. Take a paper towel and rub off the char. It’s ok to leave a little of the char.
  5. Slice in half and remove the seeds, stems and dice.
  6. When quinoa is finished cooking, stir in the poblano.
