Do you have a go-to recipe or dish that you take to Summer get-togethers in the neighborhood or family barbecues? For a long time, my go-to was broccoli salad and it's still on the list, but I really wanted to mix it up this summer, so I'm trying some new dishes, like this QUINOA AND PEPPER PILAF from Swanson. It might just be a new staple for summer get togethers. It's bright with just enough flavor that it can be a side dish paired with almost anything or it could also be the base with grilled chicken or steak on top.
What You'll Need
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 shallot, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (I used pre-minced - check the jar for what equals one clove)
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup) 1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed
- Tip: Try truRoots Quinoa
- 2 cups Swanson® Chicken Broth 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
How to Make It
- Heat the oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Add the shallot and garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the peppers and quinoa and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the broth and heat to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low.
- Cover and cook for 20 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- Stir in the parsley.
- ENJOY Warm, Room Temperature or as a Cold Salad after Refrigerating
This dish really is the hero of the party, but here are a few other tips to make your own Summer Block Party great!

You can get a 6 Pack of Swanson's Chicken Broth for under $10 and it should last you the summer for these great recipes plus it's a great add in for marinades and crockpot cooking!
I also picked up these fresh ingredients at Sam's Club, the peppers, the pineapple and the truRoots Quinoa can also be found at Sam's Club and truly that bag has already gone a long way! Find out where you can be a part of Sam's Club Summer Block Party here!
