Preparation of Chili con quinoa recipe

Time needed 60 minutes

1. Bring the quinoa to the boil with the water in a saucepan over high heat.
   
2. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and all the water has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and stir in the ground beef.
4. Stir-fry the meat until brown and crumbly. The minced meat should no longer be pink inside. Discard excess fat, and keep the fried minced meat in a separate bowl.
5. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and jalapeño pepper, and cook, stirring, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with chilli powder and cumin and cook for 1 minute more.
6. Then stir in the tomatoes, black beans, green pepper, red pepper, zucchini, oregano, and parsley. Season with salt and black pepper.
7. Simmer until peppers are tender, about 20 minutes.
8. Once the peppers are cooked, stir in the quinoa, ground beef, and corn kernels. Simmer for 5 minutes to warm the dish well. Stir in the cilantro just before serving.
