Steps

Cook Quinoa

First, thoroughly rinse the quinoa under cold water in a fine-mesh sieve. In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil, add the quinoa, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it rest, covered, for another 5 minutes.

Prepare Vegetables

While the quinoa is cooking, finely chop the red onion and garlic. Halve the cherry tomatoes and crumble the feta cheese.

Sauté Spinach

In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the chopped red onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Then add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant. Finally, add the fresh spinach and sauté until it wilts, which takes about 2-3 minutes.

Assemble and Serve

Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork, then combine it with the sautéed spinach and onion mixture. Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Divide into two bowls, then top with the halved cherry tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy!
