How to Make the Recipe
Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your PraComer Vegano:

- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and sauté until they are golden brown.
- Stir in the cooked quinoa and black beans, followed by the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the mixture is cooking, toss the beet slices with balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet.

- Once the quinoa mixture is ready, serve it on a plate and top it with the crispy beet chips. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your PraComer Vegano turns out perfectly:
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to the quinoa mixture for extra flavor and nutrition.
- If you want to make this a 30-minute meal, prep your ingredients ahead of time!
- For a creamier texture, consider adding a dollop of avocado or a drizzle of tahini on top before serving.
- Experiment with different spices to customize the flavor to your liking.
How to Serve
This dish is incredibly versatile! You can serve your PraComer Vegano as a main course or as a side dish. Pair it with a light salad or some creamy garlic pasta for a complete meal. It’s also great for lunch the next day, either cold or reheated!
Make Ahead and Storage
If you’re looking for weeknight dinner ideas, this recipe is perfect for meal prep! You can make the quinoa and black bean mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. The beet chips are best served fresh, but you can prepare them in advance and reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.
For longer storage, you can freeze the quinoa mixture in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Just thaw it overnight in the fridge before reheating!
