I'm making this as my first meal with the Ninja 3 in 1 when it arrives today. Was gonna make a honking big roast, but it most likely won't get here until later today and I won't have time.

Makes 6-8 servings
Prep. Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 2-3 hours
Ideal slow-cooker size: 4-qt.

1 tsp. vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
¾ cup uncooked quinoa
1 ½ cups vegetable broth
1 tsp. ground cumin
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup frozen corn
2 15-oz. cans black beans, rinsed and drained
½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1. Sauté onions, garlic and red bell pepper in oil in slow cooker.

2. Mix quinoa into it and cover with vegetable broth.

3. Season with cumin, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper.

4. Cover. Cook on low 1-2 hours until quinoa is done.

5. Stir in frozen corn, beans and cilantro into cooker and continue to cook on low 30-60 minutes until heated through.

I haven't made this recipe yet, will decide later if I want to eat it alone or with a meat accompaniment.
