Hi hi, how are you, my dear? Today I thought of preparing your dinner with this quinoa recipe. It's super easy to make if you have some already cooked quinoa in your fridge, a can of chickpeas, some tomatoes, zucchini, turmeric, ginger, and garlic.
Spiced with a whole mustard sauce this vegan quinoa recipe is deliciously yummy. The cherry tomatoes burst in your mouth releasing their sweet juice, combine that with garlicky soft chickpeas and tender quinoa, and you have here an awesomely delectable vegan dinner.
So my dear friend, take a seat and enjoy this vegan dinner. Please don't forget to share it out. Many blessings to you.
Sending you my love, Githu.

What a delicious sounding recipe! I'm a massive fan of chickpeas and curry powder so this is right up my alley. I have never actually used fresh turmeric root before. Not sure why as I caused the powdered form all of the time. I'm going to have to give it a try!
