Description

Here's a quinoa dish that even non-vegetarians will love. Quinoa is cooked in vegetable broth and mixed with sauteed garlic, tofu, broccoli, mushrooms, and spinach.

Ingredients

1 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 cup broccoli florets
1/2 cup diced firm tofu
1/4 cup vegetable broth
1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup chopped fresh spinach

Directions

1 In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup vegetable stock to a boil. Stir in the quinoa and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
2 While quinoa is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, broccoli florets, and tofu. Stir for a minute, then cover and steam over low heat for 2 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup vegetable broth, mushrooms, and spinach. Cover and cook over medium heat until the mushrooms are soft and spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes.
3 Stir the vegetable-tofu mixture into the cooked quinoa. Cover, and allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving.
