To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1/2 cup quinoa

To start, rinse the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and add it to a pot with the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
While the quinoa is cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Add the diced tomatoes, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened.
Once the quinoa is done cooking, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until everything is heated through.
