Directions

1. 1
   Cook, drain and cool quinoa in filtered water. Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the ingredients.In a large saut pan, over medium heat, add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, jalapeno, and carrot and cook until onions are translucent. You do not need any oil to saut this mixture since the water from the onions and other veggies will seep out and will help cook the rest of the vegetables.
2. 2
   Add the salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, fennel seeds, garlic powder, cook for about 2 minutes, then add the parsley, basil, spinach and quinoa. Stir well and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
3. 3
   Remove the pan from heat and add the oat flour. Stir well until everything starts to bind together and the mixture cools. If it doesnt bind together right away, add filtered water, a tablespoon at a time, at most 3-4 tablespoons.Disclaimer: I recommend using gloves, or just have a slice of lime handy afterward because the hot peppers can burn your hands. Rubbing your hands with lime can help alleviate any burning.
