Ingredients

1 C Quinoa
9 oz Green beans
2 cloves Garlic
1 C Vegetable stock
15 oz can chopped Tomatoes
½ cup fresh Basil, chopped (optional)
1 1/2 Tbs fresh Lemon juice
Salt and Black pepper to taste

Instructions

Wash the quinoa very well to remove the soapy-tasting substance in the outer coat. Clean the green beans and slice into 1-inch (2-cm) lengths. Chop the garlic finely. Place quinoa and vegetable stock in a saucepan. Bring to boil, cover and simmer 5 minutes. Add green beans and tomatoes with their juice. Simmer 5 minutes more, covered, then add garlic and cook, covered, until beans and quinoa are soft, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with basil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Serve hot or cold.
