Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.

  2. Add the diced sweet potatoes to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they start to soften.

  3. Stir in the quinoa, cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to toast the quinoa and allow the spices to bloom.

  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender.

  5. Give the Quinotto a good stir to fluff up the quinoa and ensure everything is well combined. Adjust the seasoning if needed.

  6. Serve the Quinotto with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley on top for a burst of freshness and color.

  7. Enjoy your warm and comforting Quinotto with Sweet Potatoes with your favorite glass of wine or alongside a crisp side salad for a well-rounded meal.
