Quinoa contains more protein than any other grain. There are different ways in which we can use quinoa in our regular diet. We try to look for various recipes where we can make quinoa more interesting and tasty. Here is another recipe, which has grilled vegetables, requires less oil and has an excellent toasted flavor of the garlic. In this recipe, we grill broccoli for a longer period than other vegetables since it takes more time to cook.
Ingredients:
cup cooked quinoa
6 medium sized broccoli florets
4-6 garlic cloves
6-8 cherry tomatoes, halved
cup capsicum, finely chopped
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
Method:
1. Marinate broccoli florets for 30 minutes with olive oil and salt, so that they become tender.
