I was really amazed that this dish had so much flavor with such simple ingredients.  Another thing you can probably do with this is to cook the quinoa in vegetable broth instead of water.  It should add an even deeper level of flavor.  This dish is vegan and gluten free.  I hope you enjoy it.

  1. Lovely! We will need to use other (more tasteless) veggies since we're also nightshade-free in our house (autoimmune disease), but this seems quite do-able! Please make sure to THOROUGHLY rinse the quinoi before cooking. The saponins will trully cause trouble to sensitive or otherwise compromised digestion.

  2. I made this to take to a party the other day and it was a big hit! The hostess' son is on a gluten free diet and she always has to prepare food items for him, so this worked well! It was very easy and tasty:)
