Servings: 4–6
Preparation Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup quinoa
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1/4 cup onion, diced

In a small saucepan, combine quinoa, water, and salt. Cover and cook over low-medium heat for about 15–20 minutes or until most of the water is absorbed and quinoa is soft and translucent.
Meanwhile, heat coconut oil in a large skillet. Sauté peppers and onion for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until slightly soft.
