    Description

    Slightly spicy and savory, this Indian-style curry is filled with sautéed vegetables and protein-packed quinoa for an exotically flavored dish. Perfect for vegetarians—and non-vegetarians alike!

    Directions

    1. Cook the quinoa by package directions.
    2. Prepare the dry seasoning mix.
    3. In a large sauté pan, heat the oil on medium-high, then add the shallots, eggplant, zucchini, cauliflower and mixed peppers and sauté for 2–4 minutes. The vegetables should be slightly translucent and still crunchy. Add the seasoning mix and stir until well-mixed.
    4. Turn off heat and stir in the cooked quinoa, lime juice, cilantro and cheese.
    5. Serve either hot or cold. TO SERVE HOT: Spread veggie mix evenly on top of warm naan bread. TO SERVE CHILLED: Chill filling. Then add evenly to naan bread.
