Taco Quinoa and Lentils

(From Samily)

2 Tbs minced garlic (3-4 cloves) - modify if you aren't a garlic lover
1 cube (about a Tbs) veggie stock
1 1/4 c quinoa, rinsed
1 1/4 c brown lentils, rinsed
5 1/2 c water (or veggie stock)
1/2 Tbs minced dried onion flakes (or use as much fresh onion as you like and cook with garlic)
1/2 Tbs oregano
fresh cracked pepper
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp coriander
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp chili powder

Instructions:

  1. In a medium saucepan, saute garlic (and onion if desired) in veggie stock until garlic is fragrant.
  2. Add quinoa, lentils and water (or veggie stock) and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
  3. Add all the seasoning while you are bringing to a boil.  Allow to simmer until most of the liquid has been absorbed and quinoa and lentils are tender.
  4. Serve as if it were taco beans and meat on a tortilla, salad, in place of ground beef, etc.
