Happy Sunday Evening Fit Chicks,

Tonight I decided to be a little inventive and use my leftovers to create something delicious! After speaking with a friend today I decided to do a Quinoa invention for her. Somehow I came up with this…

What you need…

• 1/2 cup uncooked Quinoa
• 200g Crushed canned tomatoes
• 1 potato
• 1 teaspoon garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes
• 1-1/2 cups fresh green beans
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 small brown onion, diced
• 2 diced tomatoes

What to do…

• Heat pan on medium heat, saute garlic, onion, beans and quinoa for 5-7minutes. Stir occasionally.
• Add tomatoes, potatoes, chilli and liquid.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Cover and simmer for about 20minutes (potatoes should be tender and liquid should be mostly absorbed.
• Garnish with fresh alfalfa sprouts.

Not such a traditional paella, but delicious! Enjoy
