👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Rinse the quinoa well in a fine sieve.
    Colander
  2. 2
    Put the quinoa and the water in a pot and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes, until the water is absorbed.
    ⚙ SimmeringStovePotLid
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  3. 3
    Remove from the heat and leave the pot covered 10 minutes.
  4. 4
    Fluff the grains with a fork and let cool slightly.
  5. 5
    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
    ⚙ Pan-fryingStoveFrying pan
  6. 6
    Add the garlic and fry, until golden.
    ⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove
    💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.
  7. 7
    Add the broccoli and fry 4 minutes, stirring, until slightly tender.
    ⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove
  8. 8
    Add the tomatoes and green onion and fry another 2 minutes.
