One Pan Seafood Quinoa Recipe

You know how sometimes you buy a big bag of calamari planning to feed an entire village, then cook them and realize they’ve shrunk to invisible? Then, while you’re cooking, beating yourself up and questioning the meaning of life, you can’t help but wonder whether you should just eat all of the calamari while nobody’s watching and just lie to your family. 

Feed them some cannellini beans instead. They don’t shrink. In fact, they get bigger as they cook. That’s my type of food. How big of a calamari pack do I have to buy to feed more than one person? Am I Rockefeller to afford it? 

No, this seafood dish was definitely not born out of disappointment and frustration. It’s in fact filled with love, seafood, quinoa and a ton of garlic. 

It’s

  • delicious
  • simple
  • garlicky
  • filling
  • easy & quick to make

We’re still eating gluten free over here and this was devoured by my toddler and my entire family at lunch last week. Which is good, because I got to sneak in some beans into my toddler’s food! They help keep him regular, so that’s a win for everyone.

Ingredients

This healthy meal is made with simple fresh whole foods, that you can get no matter where you live in the world. Here’s what you need:

  • Fresh tomatoes
  • Seafood of choice
  • Garlic
  • Cannellini beans
  • Greens of choice
  • Extra virgin olive oil


The How To

To make this seafood dish, I first cooked the seafood, put it aside and then added it back in the end. To do this I basically just added some water to the calamari and the piece of salmon and let them cook for about 5-7 minutes, then removed the water that was left.

Next cook the quinoa in a large pan with the tomato sauce, some salt, garlic, olive oil and water. Cover with a lid and wait for the quinoa to be done, you won’t need to stir, just keep the temperature lower to prevent burning. 

Once the quinoa has absorbed most of the tomato sauce, stir in the cannellini beans. Cover again, add the seafood and garlic and cook for 2-3 more minutes. It’s ready.

Sprinkle some basil, arugula, olive oil, stir in and serve immediately.

Options

This seafood quinoa is dairy-free and gluten-free and it isn’t spicy, so if you’re looking to make a spicier or cheesier version you can add some grated mozzarella cheese or add some crushed red pepper or chili powder. You can also add some pesto and vegetables that you like.
