Upute za pripremu
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and low-sodium vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
- 2.While the quinoa cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped red onion and bell peppers, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften.
- 3.Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the cherry tomatoes and chickpeas. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts. Season with black pepper.
- 4.Pat the cod fillets dry and season them with a pinch of salt (if using), pepper, and lemon zest. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- 5.Nestle the cod fillets into the vegetable mixture in the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- 6.Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish and vegetables. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
- 7.Serve the baked cod and vegetable medley over a bed of the cooked rainbow quinoa.
