- Rinse your quinoa well and if preferred toast it before cooking it (for directions to do this see recipe #16399).
- Place quinoa and veggie broth in a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until tender (about 20 minutes). If there's liquid left, drain it off. Allow to cool.
- Meanwhile combine bell pepper, cheese, basil, pepper and shredded havarti cheese. When quinoa is cool, add it to the cream cheese mixture and stir to combine.
- Spread about 1-2 tbs of the cream cheese quinoa mix on 3 of the bread slices. Top with iceberg lettuce if using and then top with remaining bread slice. If you like slice diagonally into smaller sandwiches. Enjoy!

I thought this was wonderfully tasty, colourful and very creative. I'd never have thought of mixing quinoa into cream cheese. What's even better then the sandwich, is that it made a terrific spread on crackers. Very yummy. There was a slight glitch in the instructions, no mention of the chili powder, garlic or rosemary. I expect it was also folded into the cheese mixture. Superb recipe. Good luck in the contest.
