I don't normally take the time to comment on receipes I try but this was worthy of my time! It's easy to make and is very tasty. The quinoa adds a great dimension to what can be a bland texture. I like my broccli on the soft side so i cooked longer in vegatable broth and found by doing so i didn't need to use the blender or food processor. I also had to use more broth so plan for 32 oz in total.
