Sweet Paprika Beans
Description
A warming, filling pulse-rich main meal with quinoa, this has become a family favourite in our household.With pulses (beans, lentils etc.,) being one of the healthiest, cheapest foods on earth, it's great to cook a dish that can be prepared in 10 minutes and then left to gently simmer for half an hour before quickly stirring in the quinoa before eating. To make it even quicker you could use frozen bell peppers that have already been chopped up.
