Cooking instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Wash, dry the bell pepper, and cut into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Instant Pot: Spread two teaspoons of oil in the bottom of the Instant Pot container. Add the diced bell pepper and the quinoa. Pour in 12 fluid ounces (1 and 1/2 cups) of hot water and the Chili Base. Stir well to combine. This is a mildly spiced chili. Feel free to add a dash of cayenne or your favorite hot sauce at this point.
- Put the lid on your Instant Pot and set it to low pressure. Cook for 12 minutes. While the chili is cooking, place the Jalapeno Cheddar Biscuit on the sheet pan and warm in the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes.
- When the instant pot's cooking time is up, quickly release the steam. Carefully remove the lid and stir the chili to fully mix in the cooked quinoa. Turn off all heating elements.
- Divide your 3 Bean Chili between 2 shallow bowls. Top with a dollop of Green Onion Cream and a sprinkling of cheddar cheese. Enjoy a slice of cornbread on the side!
- Stovetop: Place the small sauce pot on high heat with 1 1/2 cups of water and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir in the quinoa. Once the water has come to a boil, turn the heat to low and simmer the quinoa for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and cover to steam for 5 minutes. Prepare the vegetables as in Step 1 above.
- While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the chili. Place the medium pot on medium heat with 2-3 teaspoons of oil. Add in the diced bell pepper. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, then add in the Chili Base. Pour in 1 cup of water and bring to a low boil, stirring occasionally. Cook for 8-10 minutes, then add the cooked quinoa. Mix well, then remove from burner. Warm the biscuits in a 350 F. oven.
