Welcome back, y’all! I’m excited to bring you this recipe! I decided to make it because it called for pesto and I had to harvest my basil plants for fall. I pre-made the pesto. You can click this link for the post on Vegan Pesto! In addition to the pesto, we need some chickpeas, quinoa (I used both plain and tri-color), a sweet onion, bell peppers, green beans, zucchini, garlic, little tomatoes, and frozen corn.

Steamed and sizzled

Cook the zucchini, onion, peppers, and garlic in a saucepan with some water until they are brown.

Farmer’s Market Green Beans

Steam the green beans.

I always make a huge mess of the stove when I cook quinoa

Cook the quinoa (extra points if it doesn’t overflow from the pot).

No longer frozen

Cook the corn.

It’s time for assembly!

Adding the beans to the mix

Add the green beans to the pan with the peppers, onions, and zucchini.

Very colorful!

Next, add the corn to the pan as well.

Fall colors…

Slice up the little tomatoes and add those to the pan as well. I didn’t end up using the chickpeas but you can add them at this point if you so choose. Lastly, add the pesto and stir it in until the vegetables are coated.
