30-Minute Red Quinoa Vegetarian Chili Recipe

March 31, 2014

SONY DSC Doesn't it seem wrong that my kids are picky eaters when their mom is a trained chef and recipe developer!? Well, it's true. That's why I was happily surprised when my 10-year-old went out of his comfort zone and devoured (yes, devoured!) this amazingly healthy red quinoa vegetarian chili! He especially loved it over his nachos. (Whatever works, right?) Perfect for a busy weeknight, you can whip this one-pot comfort food meal up in just 30 minutes, and I bet your entire family will absolutely love it!

Valentina develops recipes for creative and comforting food that works perfectly for casual entertaining. Both her recipes and food photography have been featured many times on popular food websites and in print.
