  1. Rinse the quinoa under running water and then bring to the boil with twice the amount of water and simmer for 15 minutes, then pour over a sieve, rinse and drain well.
  2. In the pan in which I seared the meatballs, I now add the onion and the garlic and the tablespoon of sugar and sweat both of them a little. Then add the peppers and zucchini and sweat both for a few minutes while turning. Finally add the tomatoes and sweat again for a few minutes while turning.
  3. Now add the quinoa and sweat everything for a few minutes (at least 6 minutes) while turning. Season with salt and pepper and finally fold in the spring onions and leaf parsley.
