Feta is my favorite cheese.
Praise the Lord it is often too expensive for me to buy....
except right now,
at Aldi's,
where it is on sale for $1.49 for 8oz
I bought 3
SO now I am using it in everything:
1/2 cup dry Quinoa, rinsed very well!
5-8 cherry tomatoes
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/8-1/4 cup onion, minced (I used dried minced onion I had in my spice rack ~1 tbs)
1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, just adds spice)
1 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
1 tbs olive oil
Handful of spinach
salt and pepper to taste.
3-5 tbs crumbled feta cheese
**Feel free to double/triple this recipe to serve more people. I ate the whole thing and was REALLY FULL but REALLY SATISFIED ***
Directions:
Heat a small pot with the 1tbs olive oil on Medium-High.
Add sliced cherry tomatoes, salt and pepper to your liking, and saute until wilted.
Add onion and cook through. Add minced garlic cloves and mix all for 1 min (Not cooked through)
Add 1 cup chicken or veggie broth, red pepper flakes, quinoa, and salt and pepper to your liking. Bring to a boil for 1-2 min.
Lower heat and simmer for 15 min.
Blend in handful of spinach and simmer for 5 more min.
Remove from heat and fold in feta cheese.
ENJOY!!!!
