Summer Quinoa Sataras

Hungarian Sataras and Turkish Djuvec are similar dishes consisting of stewed onion, bell peppers and tomatoes. Then some rice or potatoes are added and cooked until the dish has a texture resembling vegetable risotto. The dish is famous throughout Central and Southern Europe.

It is great to accompany grilled meat or it can be served as a main dish. It can even be eaten cold.

I make it every summer and then freeze a few zip-lock bags for winter days. In that case just make the stew and freeze it and then add rice or potatoes after thawing.

This time I decided to make it with quinoa instead of rice and it was a score. You can also add some other summer vegetables like,like zucchini, eggplants, corn, squash or even cucumbers.
