  5. 1 Cup Quinoa
  6. 1 Can Chicken Broth, 99% Fat Free
  7. 4 Oz. Sliced Mushrooms
  8. 1/2 Medium Onion, Chopped
  9. 1 Medium Sweet Red Pepper, Chopped
  10. 2 Cups Broccoli, Chopped
  11. Directions:
  12. Prepare Quinoa with chicken broth rather than water. Simmer on low heat until all liquid is absorbed. Meanwhile, sauté the mushrooms, onions and red pepper in a pan with a small amount of olive oil. Microwave the broccoli in a zip-lock type bag, vented with a few small puncture holes, for 2 to 3 minutes.
  13. After the Quinoa is finised, add the sautéd vegetables and "steamed" broccloi to the pan and mix with serving spoon. Serve as a side dish.
  14. Leftover, it makes a great dish like a "Fried Rice".
