Why you should try it

While this is some of the least filling recipe on my page, this is also one of the freshest. Every bite you take contains at least three different types of texture as well as flavor. They all come together perfectly and the cold yoghurt just adds that little extra. If you really want to get full, use 2 cans of beans instead.

Ingredients

  • 200 g quinoa
  • 400 g kidney beans
  • 2 onions
  • 4 tomatoes
  • 2 heads of romaine lettuce
  • 2 avocados
  • 400 ml vegetable broth
  • 200 g yoghurt
  • 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 dried chili
  • bunch of fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Cut and cook vegetables. Peel and finely chop the onion. Cut tomatoes in ~1 cm cubes. Put half of the onion and tomato in a bowl (for the salsa). Heat up a cooking pot and add the other half of the onions along with 2 tbsp. of olive oil. Fry onions until translucent and boil some water to prepare the vegetable broth in the meantime. When onions are done, add the remaining tomatoes to the pot and cook for another minute. 
  • Add quinoa and liquid. Add the quinoa and vegetable broth to the pot. Reduce the heat and let everything simmer for about 15 minutes with the lid on. When done, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for another 10 minutes.
  • Finish the salsa. Cut lime in half and squeeze the juice of half a lime to the bowl with tomatoes and onions. Wash and finely chop the parsley and add it to the bowl. Finish with 2 tbsp. of olive oil and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Prepare beans. In a small seperate pan, heat up 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add the kidney beans along with the dried chili and cumin. Fry for about 2-3 minutes until the skin of the beans start to break. Set aside.
  • Cut lettuce and avocado. Wash the lettuce and slice into stripes. Cut avocado in half, remove stone, slice the avocado into stripes and remove flesh with a spoon. Fill yoghurt in a small bowl and add salt and pepper.
  • Assemble everything. Serve everything in a large bowl: Quinoa, onion-tomato salsa, avocado, beans, avocado and yoghurt. Squeeze some juice of the remaining half of the lime on top. Enjoy!
