Gluten-Free Friday Okra!

Now that I'm back in the south, it's time for some southern ingredients to be used! After a great trip to a local farmer's market here in Charlottesville, I came home with tomatoes, okra, onions, and garlic. I had a large bag of quinoa so I started mixing! This recipe is easy, quick, and yummy. Enjoy as a side or add a protein (tofu or chicken) to make it a meal. Serves 4

Ingredients
1 large tomato, chopped
2 cups okra, sliced*
*to clean okra I run under water and run a knife over it
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1/4 cup gluten-free organic vegetable broth
1/2 cup quinoa, cooked according to box directions


In a large sauce pan, cook oil over medium heat

Add garlic and onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally

Add okra and tomatoes, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes
Add broth and quinoa
Stir for a few minutes, until broth is soaked up

Eat y'all!
