Ingredients
  

  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 1 cup quinoa rinsed
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup Daiya cheddar shreds
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk I use SO Delicious brand
  • 1 ½ cups green beans fresh or frozen
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place the quinoa, chopped onion, and two cups of water in a small pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover the pan. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until the little ring separates from the quinoa. Fluff with a fork.
  • Add the olive oil, Daiya cheese, and coconut milk to the pot. Cook over medium low heat until the cheese is melted.
  • If you are using frozen green beans, put them in a colander and run them under water until they thaw out somewhat. Drain and add to the quinoa. Stir and continue to cook until everything is heated through.
  • Add salt and pepper and serve immediately.
