Turkey Meatballs with Pineapple, Black Beans, Cauliflower and Sw instructions

Cook diced onion until it is translucent in olive oil in the same pan you will cook the rice and quinoa..
Cook your Brown Rice and Quinoa (if you are not using leftovers from the fridge. I used leftover quinoa but you could cook both at the same time just make sure you combine the amount of liquid from both directions. Costco also sells a nice garlic brown rice quinoa blend called Seeds of Change if you don't want to cook either). I boiled 2 1/4 cups water, added a cup of brown rice, and let it simmer for 45 minutes..
Combine brown sugar and corn starch in a large skillet. Warm it on medium heat for a few minutes..
Add reserve pineapple juice, vinegar, and soy sauce to the brown sugar and corn starch stirring constantly until combined. Bring the sauce to a boil stirring frequently as it thickens. Add your choice of spices and boil for 1 minute..
Add spices of your choice, green chilies, and black beans to your brown rice quinoa mixture..
Add 1 bag frozen cauliflower (or other veggies) to the sauce. Simmer until heated through..
Depending on time and preference, heat 16 meatballs in the microwave or in the sauce..
Add diced pineapple to the sauce with the veggies and meatballs..
Enjoy!.
