Spanish Rice/Quinoa

Print this recipe

(6 votes)

Category:     Entree

Description:
This is based on an entree my mother used to make when I was growing up. She called her version Spanish Rice. I decided to switch to quinoa to take advantage of what I consider a better grain for type O, making it Spanish Quinoa.


General applicability:

Spanish Rice/Quinoa
Green: recipe contains only neutral or a beneficials ingredients for that type.
Yellow: recipe contains an secondary avoid ingredient that may be substituted by a more permissable one.
Orange: contains an avoid in a primary ingredient.



Ingredient list:
  • 1 pound ground meat. (I use beef or buffalo, but assume that chicken or turkey would work too)
  • 2-3 Tablespoons olive oil (I use a lot)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1-2 red and/or green peppers, chopped (I normally use one red, which is a type O beneficial and one green for color)
  • 1 carrot, sliced thin (optional for color)
  • 1-15 ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1-15 ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup rice or quinoa
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder, rounded


How to make it:
  • Start the rice or quinoa cooking. I use a rice cooker for both.
  • Chop the onion and peppers, and slice the carrot.
  • Brown meat in large covered skillet on medium heat.
  • Drain liquid from the skillet.
  • Add the olive oil, chopped onions and peppers to the skillet and stir to distribute the oil.
  • Cover and let cook until the onions look cooked.
  • Add the 2 cans of tomatoes.
  • Add the chili powder.
  • When vegetables are cooked to your liking add the rice or quinoa to the skillet and stir.
  • Serve.
